Messages are read by the site's author. The most useful ones are corrections.
The best way to reach the site is hello@calculatehike.com.
Corrections
If a figure, a formula or a factual claim here is wrong, please say so. The most useful message includes:
- the page address
- the specific claim or number in question
- what you believe the correct figure is
- a source, if you have one — including your own field measurement
Substantive corrections are made to the page and the last-updated date revised. Our approach is set out in the editorial policy.
Trail and access updates
Permit systems, closures, reroutes and parking arrangements change constantly, and land managers do not always publish changes promptly. If you have walked a route recently and found our access information out of date, that is genuinely valuable and will be acted on quickly.
Calculator feedback
If you have walked a route and the calculator's time or calorie estimate was materially off, tell us the route, the distance, the elevation gain, the settings you used, and what actually happened. The methodology page explains the formulas so you can see where the discrepancy is likely to have come from.
Privacy requests
To make a request under the GDPR, the CCPA or a comparable law — access, deletion, correction, or objection to processing — email the address above with "Privacy request" in the subject line. See the privacy policy for the data involved.
What we do not accept
We do not accept sponsored posts, paid links, guest posts, link insertions, or product placement. Messages proposing them will not receive a reply.
Response times
This is a site run by one person. Corrections and access updates are prioritised and usually handled within a few days. Everything else may take longer.
