The Lost Peak is an information website about hiking in the United Kingdom. It provides written route descriptions, maps, GPX files, photographs and general information.

Everything on the website is general information only. Nothing on it is professional advice, safety advice or guided instruction, or a recommendation that a route is suitable for you, your group or the conditions on the day.

By using this website, downloading a GPX file or following a route described on it, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

You agree that:

• You are responsible for your own safety and decisions.
• You will judge your own fitness, experience, skills and limits.
• You will decide whether the conditions are suitable on the day.
• You are responsible for your own navigation and route choices.

The Lost Peak does not guide, lead, supervise or accompany any walks.

We take reasonable care when creating our content, but we cannot guarantee that everything on the website is accurate, complete, up to date or free from errors.

Paths, access points, terrain, signs, rights of way and restrictions can change at any time because of weather, erosion, farming, forestry or decisions by landowners. All distances, times, ascents and difficulty ratings are approximate.

GPX files are free and provided for convenience only. Please remember that:

• GPX files may contain errors or gaps.
• GPS devices and phone apps can fail or show the wrong position.
• Phones lose signal, batteries run out and software crashes.
• A GPX file should never be your only way of navigating.

Always carry a backup, such as a paper map and compass, and know how to use it.

Weather in the UK can change quickly, especially on high ground. Forecasts and weather links on this website may be wrong, and photos may not show the conditions you will find. A route that is fine in summer may be dangerous in winter, in poor visibility or after dark. Check an up-to-date forecast before you set out.

Hiking has risks, including slips, trips and falls, steep and exposed ground, cliffs, loose rock, mud, ice and snow, rivers and bogs, livestock, remote locations, poor phone signal and a slow emergency response.

In an emergency, call 999 or 112 and ask for the police, then mountain rescue. The Lost Peak does not provide any monitoring, support or rescue service.

Make sure you are fit and well enough for any walk you choose. We cannot assess your health, injuries or medical conditions.

Where we mention dogs, it is for information only. You are responsible for deciding whether a route suits your dog, keeping it under control near livestock and following any local restrictions.

We cannot guarantee that every route follows a public right of way or open access land, is open on the day, or is suitable for children, dogs or groups. Please follow the Countryside Code, local signs and any temporary restrictions.

Parking suggestions are a guide only. We cannot guarantee that parking is available, legal or secure. Make sure you park legally and considerately.

Photos are for illustration. They may have been taken in a different season or in different conditions, and they can make slopes and distances look different from reality. Do not use them to judge how hard or safe a route is.

We link to other services such as OS Maps, AllTrails, Komoot and weather websites. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, accuracy or availability.

The words, maps, routes and photos on this website belong to The Lost Peak unless we say otherwise, and "The Lost Peak" is a UK registered trade mark. You are welcome to use our routes and GPX files for your own walks and to share links to our pages, but please do not copy our content to another website or use it commercially without asking first.

Some photos belong to other photographers and are used under the licence shown next to them. Hill data comes from The Database of British and Irish Hills (CC BY 4.0).

Some links on this website are affiliate links. If you buy something after clicking one, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This never affects what we recommend, and it does not mean a product or route is suitable for you.

As far as the law allows, The Lost Peak is not liable for any loss, damage, injury or illness arising from your use of this website, your reliance on its information, your use of GPX files or your taking part in hiking or other outdoor activities.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited or excluded under the law of England and Wales.

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may also bring proceedings in your local courts.
