Building Your Itinerary

Planning Your Hike · Updated 19 July 2026

The Itinerary tab is the day-by-day plan: one card per day, holding that day's routes, camps, travel and everything else with a time and a place.

Itinerary Items

Add items to any day and give each a category — Flight, Stay, Transport, Drive, Activity, Tent, Hut or POI. Depending on the category an item can carry:

  • departure and arrival times, and from/to locations (travel items)
  • a description and a link (booking page, hut info, trailhead directions…)
  • a linked expense, so the cost and the plan stay connected
  • "Applies to" — everyone, or just the people actually on that flight

Tent and Hut items can be placed on the map — pick a spot (or add them by clicking the map), choose a marker icon, and your camps appear on every map of the hike.

Tip: Days aren't limited to the hike's date range — add travel days before the start or after the end and they get their own cards.

Routes On Days

Assign an uploaded route — or a Section Planner section — to each walking day. A day can hold several, and each can be:

  • marked as a side trail (an optional detour rather than the main line)
  • assigned to specific members, when the group splits up for a day

Each day shows its route stats, and View map opens that day's routes on a full map — with camps, drops and water points, and the same click-to-place tools as the Overview.

Food Drops And Map Points On Days

Shared food drops can be scheduled onto the day you'll collect them. Water and reception points near a day's route can be assigned to that day too — they condense into small icons on the day header, with the distance along the day's walk.

Zero Days

Mark a day as a zero day — a rest day with no hiking. The card changes to warm rest day colours so the rhythm of the trip is visible at a glance.

Planning By Duration ("Day 1, Day 2, …")

Can't commit to dates yet? Create the hike by duration and plan everything against day numbers. When the group finally books leave, the owner or a co-admin hits Schedule and picks the real start date — every item, route, drop, meal and zero day shifts onto the calendar in one move. Plans change? Unschedule flips it back to day numbers without losing anything.

Note: Setting or changing dates is a co-admin/owner action, since it moves the whole group's plan.
