Hey Twitter hiking buddies what you all using for tracking your hikes I really miss using @SocialHiking and ViewRanger is on its countdown to oblivion

@SocialHiking @PilgrimChris @TrekkingPaul Just to clarify, @plotaroute can be used for free on both desktop and mobile. Also, you can upload GPS files in a variety of formats (GPX, TCX, KML, FIT).
English
@PilgrimChris @martin_free @TrekkingPaul @plotaroute I know right - is it not amazing they give so much hard work away for free on desktop?
English
@martin_free @SocialHiking @TrekkingPaul @plotaroute I'm struggling with the concept of free for desktop plotting, but premium for mobile plotting. I've not used a PC/Mac since phones became 'smart'.

Already missing looking at @SocialHiking and seeing the progress of people on #TGOC and other walks. There is no suitable alternative unfortunately unless anyone has any suggestions 🤔 What apps are folk now using to track their walks?

@PilgrimChris @TrekkingPaul @plotaroute I have to admit I presumed it did GPS imports. Perhaps less useful then.
English
@TrekkingPaul @plotaroute @SocialHiking But no gps track import option? Strange decision as it allows plotting.

Although no live tracking this might be an interesting option for many former @SocialHiking users.

@TrekkingPaul @SocialHiking Sorry to hear about the closure. We probably don't tick all your boxes but we may be able to help with route sharing - plotaroute.com. We have a personal challenge tracker, free OSM maps and Ordnance Survey maps with premium membership. Like @socialhiking we're UK based.

@plotaroute @TrekkingPaul Ok found pricing and legal tucked away in the privacy statement.
English
@plotaroute @TrekkingPaul So I would love to spread the word about your service but I can find no pricing info (or indeed any of the required legal info on ownership / registered details etc.) on your site. Can you point me in the right direction?

@BarneyTheBear @TGOMagazine @townsendoutdoor @CumbrianBlondie Ha ha not sure about that but thanks anyway.
English
@SocialHiking @TGOMagazine @townsendoutdoor @CumbrianBlondie Lots of people used social hiking and loved it , it was a good nomination just saying :)
English
At some point I was oddly nominated as outdoor personality of the year in @TGOMagazine awards. Clearly ridiculous (I was up against the legend that is @townsendoutdoor) but I enjoyed my moment in the lime light. Thanks to @CumbrianBlondie who accompanied me to the awards night.

@martin_free @TrekkingPaul Funnily enough that is also what my business customers tend to say about the projects I work on!
English
@martin_free @TrekkingPaul Every day I expected to wake up to a better version done by a bigger company with a budget.... never happened.

Phil T is of course @MrPhilTurner now!

Bound to completely fail to name check everyone who was part of this journey (sorry), but at the start it was especially Phil T (twitter handle has changed) & @Tramplite (encouragement to open out to other people) @tookiebunten (logo) @stevenhorner (peak bagging) & @ukjeeper

Done. All your personal data and account tokens (how we accessed your twitter account etc.) have been deleted.

Yesterday was hard - but that was just redirecting all traffic to the closure page. Today it is clicking this button... Sure - there are backups (that will eventually get deleted as they expire) but this feels very final.
English
@SocialHiking really sad that this is the end. My blog is down at the moment, been trying to find the time to fix it. Like you I just haven't had the time. I wish you all the best and hope we can finally find time for that beer and a chat. 🍺🍻

One of the most popular and unique features of SH (why did no one else implement it) was auto peak bagging - an idea I stole (with consent) from @stevenhorner . Genius idea. His original blog post is gone so here is the SH one - shareyouradventure.com/blog/2010/10/2…

@Hiking_Blog @DrPollyPeacock Thank you for all the support and map sharing .
English
Since 2015 - despite so many schemes that @DrPollyPeacock and I came up with. Ultimately there wa never enough time and will. The site has such a dedicated group of users but it was too problematic to encourage new users and was too much work to fix.
English
It has been emotional. Thank you everyone for sharing the moment with me. 11 years of my life - done.
