Itinerary CHECKS to confirm your PLAN IS COMPLETE

The Hiking Club platform highlighting itinerary checks for route closures, transport dates and unplanned out-and-back sections

Itinerary design checks

When you create an itinerary from scratch, we check that you have added a start location, an accommodation location for each night on the trail, and a finish location. This ensures you have a complete itinerary and all the trail statistics are correct.

Trail Closures and Warnings

Details of current trail and transport closures and warnings are listed. You will be alerted if your route is impacted by any warnings and closures on your planned hiking dates and you’ll be provided options to adjust accordingly.

 

Unplanned out-and-back sections

If your itinerary includes any out and backs in the same day, we’ll raise a validation, prompting you to check and make sure it was intended. Sometimes this is intentional - for example, to visit a mountain peak or lunch stop - and sometimes it is an error that needs correcting.

Transport Checks

If your route includes transport, you’ll be notified if it is not expected to be operating, based on the estimated operating dates from the previous season or confirmed dates for the current season. This is important for those hiking early/late season.
