The short version
Gentle distances
Plenty of the walks are under five miles and mostly flat.
Seasonal, not evergreen
What is worth seeing now, rather than a permanent list of highlights.
Weather included
Mud, wind and closed sections are described rather than edited out.
Walked first
No route appears here until somebody has walked the whole of it.
Frequency
A weekly note, and nothing between.
The usual questions
How do I get off the list?
The footer link removes you on the spot. Your address then sits on a do-not-send list so it cannot be added back by accident.
Do you share the list with anyone?
No — your address stays with us. Advertisers see aggregate numbers, never individual details.
Are the emails tracked?
Opens and link clicks, yes. Not to build a profile — to know when to stop emailing you.
Does it cost anything?
Free. The offers in it are how it pays for itself.
Who is behind this?
A short list of contributors, and a mailbox that is genuinely monitored.
How often does it arrive?
Every week, one email, and nothing in the gaps.
