This app will lead you

Get going 
with komoot


If you haven’t used a hiking app before then you’ll love Komoot. I’ve prepared step by step instructions on how to break down your version of this walk. This is to be used on a desktop because the mobile app is fairly clunky when routing.



First things first, download the full GPX route onto your desktop and set up a free account on komoot.

GPX File

Upload the route to komoot

  1. Login to komoot
  2. Click the + in the top right corner
  3. Select Import GPS file 
  4. Drag and drop the downloaded GPX file into komoot
  5. Re-name it Pilgrims Way Full Route



Breaking down daily tours
  1. Open the full tour
  2. On the right hand side select ‘Replan tour’ then ‘Open 
    in Planner’
  3. This will save as a new route.
  4. On the left in a green panel is the waypoint section. 
  5. Expand this by clicking ‘ Show All Waypoints’
  6. For Day 1 scroll to the bottom and start clicking the rubbish bin icon next to Waypoint B.
  7. Do this until you get to your resting point for the night

    This will shorten the route, the old route will be shown in red on the map while editing. You can use the search bar and the postcode for your accommodation for accurate routing.

  8. When you’re finished, click Save Tour on the top 
    right corner
  9. Rename your route ‘Pilgrims Way - Day #’
  10. Repeat this process for however many days you’re 
    planning to walk

You now have your day by day breakdown as well as a full map of your route.
