Adding a route to Walkr is easy. Follow these 5 steps:
1. Name your route
The best way to get your route found is to include village or town name as well as the county (i.e. Hook, Hampshire).
If it is an A to B walk, you could add both the start and finish places (i.e. Hook - Newnham, Hampshire) as well as any features (i.e. Windsor River Walk).
2. Add a route description
A good route description will add to the enjoyment for others walking it.
As well as a desription of the route, add features such as where's the best place to park, is there a pub nearby and any other interesting or historic information.
3. Add the area information

5. Pick out some features
