If a field note is unclear, if you want to use an image, or if you have a set of your own to offer, there are two ways to reach us. Both go to the same inbox, and both are read by the people who keep the trail index.
We do not run accounts, saved routes or a booking desk. Nothing here is automated, and we do not promise a reply window. What we can say plainly is where each kind of request should go.
Name the trail entry and describe the intended use, or the print size you have in mind. The contact form on the contact page carries both, along with a field for the route name so the right images are easy to find.
Hikers, trail runners and cyclists who know the ground are welcome to offer images. Say which route the set covers and what the surface, shade and wind were like on the day. Submitted images may be reviewed for the trail index.
Questions about access points, footing or seasonal conditions belong in the same form. Choose the route question option and add the trail name, so the answer can point back to the entry it belongs to.
The gallery is built trail by trail, not day by day. Here is the path from opening the index to sending your own set.
Routes are listed by name, not by date. Scan the names, pick one that matches the ground you want, and open the entry.
Each entry opens with a short note on surface, shade, wind exposure and access points, so you can picture the ground before setting out.
Images run in walking order, from start to finish, so you can see how light and cover change along the route.
Read two or three entries side by side to weigh surface and exposure against the hours you have and the weather you expect.
The contact form handles image licensing and print requests. Name the trail entry and describe the intended use or print size.
Hikers, trail runners and cyclists who know the ground can submit a set through the same form. Submitted images may be reviewed for the trail index.

There is no account to create and nothing to schedule. You read a trail entry, look at the images in walking order, and decide whether the ground matches what you want to do.
Routes are listed by name, not by date. Pick the one you already have in mind, or open a few entries side by side to compare surface and cover before you commit to a plan.
Each entry opens with a short note covering surface, shade, wind exposure and access points. It is written to help you picture the ground: packed earth and pine needles, worn limestone slabs, loose rock on a descent, or open ground where wind slows you down.
Images run in walking order, from the start of the route to the end. Because they were shot on foot over several seasons, you can see how light and cover change along the way rather than from a single day.
Contributors are hikers, trail runners and cyclists who know the ground. Captions stay plain and specific, so treat them as practical notes rather than a pitch.
From any entry, the contact form handles image licensing, print requests, route questions and new photo submissions. Mention the trail name if your message refers to a specific one.
There is no login, no saved routes and no booking. The gallery is a record of trails and field notes, and the only action it asks of you is a message when you have a licensing, print or submission request.
A few working definitions, so nobody reads more into a trail page than it actually holds.
Entries sit under a route name. A single page can hold images made across several seasons, so the sequence is a walk from start to finish, not a timeline of uploads.
A note covers surface, shade, wind exposure and access points. It is not a difficulty rating, a safety assessment or a substitute for your own judgement on the day.
Photographs show what the ground looked like when they were taken. Surface, cover and light change with weather and season, so treat them as a reference rather than a current condition report.
The gallery is read-only. There is no sign-up, no personal dashboard and no way to bookmark a route inside the site. Keep your own notes if you need them.
Nothing here schedules a walk, reserves a slot or arranges a guide. The pages exist for planning and comparison before you set out on your own.
A photo set sent through the contact form is read before anything is added to the index. Sending images does not guarantee they will appear, and captions may be edited to match the house style.
Licensing and print requests follow the same route: describe the intended use, the trail entry and the size you need, and the request is handled as a normal message. Questions about a specific route are welcome too, though answers depend on what the field notes already record.
