Let them follow every step

Where are they?

The dot on the route, snapped to the line, plus a named place. As precise as you choose.

Are they okay?

Your last check-in with its time. If you go quiet, the page says how long, in plain words.

When will they finish?

Worked out from your real pace over the days you've done, not the plan you made at the kitchen table.

Three things to do, one of them once

Plan before you leave. Share the link once. Then a minute each evening, and a tap when you want them to know you're fine.

Plan the route

Import a GPX, draw it, or start from a classic route. Trailpost works out the distance and climb and splits it into days at the pace you set.

Share one link

Send it to the group chat and never think about it again. It stays live for the whole trip. Change it any time; the old one stops working.

One page, written a day at a time.

Your days, kept

Each post is a day in the journal: where you slept, what happened, one photo. The record you'll want afterwards, written as you go.

The route is the thread

They see where today sits on the whole walk, how far you've come, and when you'll be home.

Nothing to install

They open the link. That's it. No app, no account, no red alarms; if you go quiet the page just says for how long.

You decide how much the link shows

Three settings, per trail, changed any time. Coordinates are never shown beyond what you chose, and they're deleted with the trail.

Precision

Open the page

You asked for one message a day about Holly's trail. Stop these.

One message a day, for the people who'd rather not check

Anyone with the link can add their email at the bottom of the page. They get one message at the time you set, with the day's numbers, where you were last seen and your post. Nothing else, ever.

Sent when you set it

Usually the evening, after you've posted. Followers see it in their own time zone.

WhatsApp too

On Trailpost Plus the same message can go to WhatsApp, which is where the group chat already is.
