Bag the 214 Wainwrights with Upfell. Capture each fell when you reach the top, even with no signal, and share the round with your friends, family or walking club. WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL Download the Lake District map before you set off and it keeps working when the bars disappear. Capture runs off your phone's GPS, so you can bag a fell with no signal at all. Your summits sync when you're back in range. SEE THE ROUTE BEFORE YOU GO Every one of the 214 has its own page, with the forecast for the top, a route up with its distance, ascent and walking time, and directions to the start. Tap Fly over to follow the route across 3D terrain from your sofa. BAG IT AT THE SUMMIT Reach the top with Upfell open and the capture screen comes up on its own. One tap bags the fell. Upfell checks your GPS against the summit, so every fell in your bag is one you stood on. Bagged some before you had the app? Tick them off by hand and they still count towards your round. WATCH YOUR ROUND FILL UP See which fells you've done and which are left, area by area. Honours mark the milestones on the way to all 214, and challenges give you something to aim for on a shorter day. Every live capture earns Altitude Points, based on the height of the fell. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT ALONE Add your friends and see their summits, photos and comments in your feed. Message each other to plan the next walk. Start a team for your family or walking club, with its own group chat, and set up a league to see who's climbed the most this season. Community features are for walkers aged 18 and over, and you can report or block anyone from inside the app. ON THE HILL The Mountain Rescue screen shows your coordinates, how accurate they are, and how to call 999 and ask for Mountain Rescue. Upfell isn't a navigation or safety device, and routes are for reference only. Take a map and compass, check the weather before you set off, and turn back when the conditions tell you to.
