Notes that hold up on the ground
Surface, shade, wind exposure and access points get written down the way you would tell a friend before they set off. No vague praise, no route sold as easier than it is.
Korčula Outdoors is built by people who walk these routes themselves. Here is what that actually means for anyone sending in a set of images and notes.
Surface, shade, wind exposure and access points get written down the way you would tell a friend before they set off. No vague praise, no route sold as easier than it is.
A stone path in July reads nothing like the same path after winter rain. Sets shot on foot across several visits show how a route changes, which is the part trip planning usually misses.
Entries sit under the route they belong to, so a pine track, a shoreline scramble and an interior lane each keep their own record instead of disappearing into a feed.
Gradients, footing and exposure are described in plain terms, so walkers, runners and cyclists can weigh one option against another before committing a day to it.
Licensing requests and print enquiries go through the same contact form as submissions. You name the trail, describe the intended use, and the request lands with the right entry.
There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to log into. You send a set of images and notes, it gets reviewed for the trail index, and the gallery stays a record of the ground.
Curious how a finished entry reads? Start with the trail entries and field notes we publish, or see the route comparison material built from them.
The gallery is built around people who already walk these routes. Hikers, trail runners and cyclists send in a set of images with a short note on what the ground was like, where the shade ran out and how the wind hit the open sections.
Each entry records what the path is made of, how it behaves after rain, where it opens to wind and which gaps in the wall or roadside pull-offs give you a way in. Notes stay short and specific.
Contributors walk the route themselves and send a sequence of frames rather than a single hero shot. Many sets were made over several seasons, so the same stone path can appear dry, wet or under low winter light.
Because entries are filed by trail and not by date, you can put two routes side by side and compare gradient, shade and exposure before deciding which one fits the day you have.
Images in the gallery can be requested for licensing or as prints. Say which trail entry you mean and what the image is for, and the request goes through the same contact form as a new submission.
If you know a route well, send your images with a plain note on surface, shade, wind and access points. Submissions are reviewed before they are added to the trail index, and captions are kept factual.
There is no member dashboard, no profile and no saved collection. Taking part means contributing notes and images to the trail index, nothing more.
