In the heart of New Zealand, the land of breathtaking landscapes and thrilling outdoor activities, a new tool has been launched to make exploring the great outdoors safer and more enjoyable for everyone. The "Plan My Walk" app, developed by the New Zealand Mountain Safety Council Incorporated, is now available for download from preferred app stores.

Gemma McCaw, his wife, values the certainty that Plan My Walk provides around all aspects of a trip, making every adventure more manageable and worry-free.
The idea for the app was born after several years of in-depth incident analysis by the Mountain Safety Council. They found a concerning number of tramping incidents to be avoidable, and the team decided to create a solution. Plan My Walk is designed to provide inspiration, essential safety information, and help find a track, guide users through weather, track information, relevant alerts, and an interactive gear list.
Quality planning and preparation are crucial for safety, and the app helps with effective trip planning. Users can make a simple shareable trip plan in a couple of minutes, including adding group members, an emergency contact, daily schedule, and trip notes. This feature ensures that everyone involved in the adventure is informed and prepared, reducing the risk of small gaps in planning that could have a significant impact on safety.
Richie McCaw states that the app makes safety a simple and easy thing to do, while Gemma McCaw highlights its educational value, stating that it encourages exploration safely and is a great educational tool for those who want to go on outdoor adventures but don't know how.
The app is accessible to everyone, regardless of ability. Users can share their planning and preparation advice by leaving reviews with photos on the app, creating a community of outdoor enthusiasts who can learn from each other's experiences.
Over summer, the app offers a great opportunity for new and exciting outdoor experiences. Whether you're a seasoned explorer or just starting out, Plan My Walk is here to help you make the most of your time in the great outdoors while keeping you safe.
