Check Out This New Irish App That Hikers Will Love

Your personal toolkit for multi-day hiking trails, GPS and offline maps Hiking is one of the fastest growing outdoor activities, yet many of us still haven't gotten in on the trend. One of the main reasons (bar the unpredictable Irish weather) is the hassle of it all. "What trial should I do?","How long will it take?" and "What if we get stranded along the way?" are the kind of questions people asks themselves. Well fret no more my outdoor-loving friend, Hiiker is here. Hiiker is a new Irish app that helps users discover amazing multi-day hiking adventures worldwide: Founded by web developer Paul Finlay, this is a new way to plot epic hiking trips, even if you're offline. Paul chats to Dermot and Dave about the benefits of hiking and why his app makes trekking a walk in the park.   View this post on Instagram   Slightly off the Motatapu Track on the South Island, New Zealand, stands Roy's Peak. From the summit, you will be treated to some incredible views of Lake Wanaka. The trail is a winding one in thick grass until you get to the ridge nearing the top. ⠀ #tramping #hiking #trailthursday #newzealand #hikenz #adventure #lovehiking #outdoors #outdoorphotography A post shared by Hiiker (@hiiker_) on Nov 7, 2019 at 5:36am PST Hiiker is available on the AppStore and PlayStore.
