Walking Places is your place on the web to store and publish your walking journals, diaries and guides. Whether you keep a record of the walks you do with the dog or write a daily diary of your long distance walks, we want you to tell the world about it, through the medium of Walking Places.

We can provide you with a complete hosting service, with your own sub-domain* (for example www.yourname.walkingplaces.co.uk), or simply publish your account on our journals page. You don’t need to know any HTML or have any technical knowledge of creating web sites, we will do all the hard work for you and best of all its COMPLETELY FREE!

The site has been developed to allow walkers to publish their daily diary or journal, even if they have no experience of web publishing.

News:

Updated Microsite: Lonewalker's microsite has undergone a major overhaul and he's added an Offa's Dyke Path journal (for the bit he did anyway).

Pete Stott's Walking Site: Has just been updated to include an account of his walk along The Dingle Way in Ireland.

Rambling Pete: Regularly updated with a new walk report - check it out!

 


Walking Places includes the following:

JOURNALS: This section of the site is home to the hosted journals which members have asked us to publish. These are normally restricted to one or two pages. Anything bigger and you may wish to consider a Micro Site.

MICRO SITES: The main portal page for accessing all the hosted members’ websites. You can design and manage your own micro site if you wish, or allow us to select a template for you and publish your words. If you would like to have a journal or indeed a website hosted on Walking Places, please contact us using the e-mail link on the right.

COAST TO COAST: A landing page for all the Coast to Coast related information on Walking Places. This includes information on the route, guidebooks, the Ordnance Survey strip maps and other information that may be useful to anyone planning on doing the walk.

DOWNLOADS: A collection of downloads that compliment the other resources on Walking Places. On this page you will also find a number of walks (in Memory Map format) for some of the more popular walking destinations in the UK.

LINKS: An extensive repository of useful walking related links, the perfect homepage for anyone with an interest in walking, rambling, hiking or climbing. The links are categorised for ease of access and new links are added regularly, so keep checking back.

FORUM: A dedicated chat forum for Walking Places. If you wish to gain access to this forum, click on the link at the top of this page. To post on the forum you will need to register.



* Sub-domain accounts are currently restricted to 10Mb, but this should be enough for several hundred pages of text without pictures, or many pages of text with pictures.
