You leave Keswick and run leg 1 of the Bob Graham Round and then return to Keswick.

Your run is 18.1 miles in length, 13.1 of which have been on the Bob Graham Round trail, i.e. 72% of your run has been on the trail.

The Bob Graham Round is 65.5 miles in length, you have just run 13.1 miles of it. Therefore, you have just run 20% of the trail.

When we are performing our initial synchronisation with your Strava account, we will add details of the % of and % on trails to the description. However, at this point in the process we don't yet know how much of a given trail you have completed (so we do not include it).

Once the initial synchronisation is complete and we've done all our calculations, new activities will subsequently have your % completion included.

With Strava integration, we connect to your Strava account and use your activities to calculate your completion of each of the trails within out database.

In order to connect to your Strava account, you must first have an account with us and be signed in (see login and registration elsewhere in this FAQ).

Once logged in, you will see a 'Strava Link' option in the menu to the top right.

The symbol indicates that your account is not connected. Click on this to connect your account. You will be forwarded to the Strava site where you must login and agree to grant us access.

Tags are labels associated with trails in our database. They are typically used to describe attributes of the trail (e.g. coastal or waymarked).

In addition to the default tags, users can define their own custom tags. As with default tags, custom tags can be used in searches. They can also be used to track the completion of a group of trails via the "By Tag" menu option.

Wikipedia: The Marilyns are mountains and hills in the British Isles that have a topographical prominence above 150 metres (490 feet), regardless of absolute height or other merits.

There are many definitions of hills / peaks, however, we believe that the Marilyns definition is the most useful given the nature of our trails and the UK geography.

A Simm is a British hill at least 600 metres high with a drop of at least 30 metres on all sides.

The peaks tag indicates that the trail covers more than 3 Marilyns.

Elevation ratio is an indication as to how much ascent / descent there is in a trail. The lower the number, the flatter; the higher the number, the more hilly.

More specifically, we take which ever figure is higher from total ascent / descent in meters and divide it by the length of the trail in meters.

In additon to the value, we colour-code the ER - the more red, the more hilly.

Each trial is given a popularity rating. This is a reflection of how many trail miles have been covered by our users relative to the trail's length.

Populartity is a 10 point scale from 0 (least popular) to 9 (most popular).

Over its full length, does the trail finish at a higher, lower or just about the same sort of elevation.

The simple answer is that use Open-Elevation to provide elevation data for each point of our trails.

The long answer is that calculating the total elevation gain / loss for a trail is a complex issue. For example, does a speed-bump in an otherwise perfectly flat road count as 15cm elevation gain and loss? Clearly it makes sense to do some smoothing. However, go too far and you end up with Bob Graham round like a pancake; not far enough and the Lancaster canal looks like the three peaks.

What we actually do it up-sample the trail, get accurate elevations for each point, smooth them, throw in a bit of Ramer–Douglas–Peucker, then smooth a bit more. Even then, it's not perfect. However we think the values we use are about as good as they are going to get.

Yes. Simply sign up, login and the GPX download button on the trail details page will be enabled.

The theory is that our trails are of sufficient detail to be followed on the ground in a dense urban environment (e.g. Capital Ring in London).

For speed and size purposes, the default map display uses a low resolution version of the trail. For this reason, you may seen the trail miss road junctions, cross rivers etc. Rest assured that the version you download will be of much higher resolution and not suffer from such issues.

If you have no progress on a given trail (as indicated by your Strava account), then the default trail display page uses a low resolution version of the trail. You can see a high resolution verions of the trail by clicking on the 'Hires' button to the upper right corner of the map. However, users are limited to the number of high resolution views they can request based on their level of membership.

Trails on which you have recorded progress via Strava will always be shown in high resolution.

At present, this is not a feature we support. However, you can use the mail link in the lower right to send us your trails and, if they are suitable, we'll be happy to include them in our database.
