Creating a Pointy Map Walk

Thank you for your interest in becoming a map author for Adventure Geek.

Map authors create simple to follow self guided walks for the general public. Ideally most routes will be a minimum of 3 miles and no more than 15 miles. The author will map the walk, make notes against the photos using some recommended free software. You then send a link to us at AG and we will do the rest.

We want to encourage people to explore their local surroundings and get people outside as much as possible. It doesn’t matter where you live in the country or the globe! Let’s do this!

Get outside, get inspired and go take a hike!

Before you complete the form, please consider the tools and skillset that you will need to enable you to create your first walk.

Step #1 – What will you need?

• A Smartphone – to record the walk and take photos. (AGHQ will actually create the PDF and the final version of the map).
• A willing friend who is happy to wear something bright and do some pointing for you.
• Full training will be provided but a good understanding of the countryside code and being able to understand a map / public footpaths is essential.
