A guide to exploring the great outdoors

Tech Tools: AllTrails can help you discover new hikes or cycle routes

As the weather improves you might be on the lookout for outdoor activities. The AllTrails app will help you discover new hikes and trails so you can get out at the weekends and explore some new locations.

The app gives you a location-specific guide to trails nearby suitable for hiking, trail running, walking, mountain biking, off-road driving and more. You can also search for the best local views, or specify wheelchair or dog-friendly routes. All in all, there are about 400,000 to choose from. The app also allows you to track your route, whether you are following a trail or going off-route.

It’s a subscription-based service, so after the first week free, you have to pay up to keep access.
