Welcome to 282 Stories.
These Terms of Use apply to your use of 282stories.com and its content. By using this website, you agree to use it responsibly and in accordance with these terms.
About 282 Stories
282 Stories is an independent personal project documenting a journey to climb all 282 Munros in Scotland.
The website contains personal accounts and may include photographs, videos, route notes, GPX tracks, timings, equipment information, observations and lessons learned from completed mountain journeys.
The content reflects personal experiences and circumstances at the time of each journey.
Personal Experience, Not Professional Advice
Content published on 282 Stories is provided primarily as a record of personal experience and for general information.
It should not be treated as professional mountaineering, navigation, medical, training, weather or safety advice.
A description of what I did, used or experienced on a particular mountain does not mean that the same approach will be appropriate for another person.
Visitors remain responsible for making their own decisions based on their experience, abilities, equipment, current conditions and other relevant circumstances.
GPX Files and Route Information
GPX files and route information published on 282 Stories are records of routes actually travelled during particular journeys unless clearly stated otherwise.
They show where I travelled on that occasion.
They are not intended to be definitive, official or guaranteed routes for other walkers to follow.
Mountain paths, access arrangements, terrain and environmental conditions can change. A GPX track may also contain inaccuracies arising from GPS reception, recording equipment, processing or other technical factors.
Do not rely solely on a GPX file, smartphone, GPS device or information from this website for mountain navigation.
Anyone using route information from 282 Stories is responsible for carrying suitable navigation resources and having the knowledge and skills required to use them.
Mountain Safety
Hillwalking and mountaineering involve inherent risks.
Weather, visibility, snow, ice, wind, water levels, terrain and other mountain conditions can change rapidly and may differ significantly from those described in a previous 282 Stories journey.
Information about conditions on a particular day should therefore not be assumed to represent current or future conditions.
Before entering the mountains, visitors should make their own assessment of current weather, mountain conditions, route suitability, equipment, experience and ability and should consult appropriate authoritative sources where necessary.
The decision to begin, continue, alter or abandon a mountain journey remains the responsibility of the individual undertaking it.
Distances, Times and Difficulty
Distances, elevation figures, timings and descriptions of difficulty published on 282 Stories may be based on recorded activity data, mapping information or personal experience.
They should be treated as indicative rather than as a prediction of another person’s experience.
Walking times can vary considerably depending on fitness, experience, weather, terrain, navigation, group size, stops and mountain conditions.
Equipment
Any discussion of boots, clothing, tents, navigation equipment, cameras, camping equipment or other products reflects personal experience or opinion unless clearly stated otherwise.
The fact that particular equipment was used successfully on one journey does not mean it will be appropriate for every person, mountain, season or set of conditions.
Accuracy of Information
Reasonable care is taken when preparing content for 282 Stories.
However, mountain information can change and recorded data can contain errors.
Visitors should verify important information using appropriate current and authoritative sources before making decisions that affect their safety or travel plans.
External Information and Links
282 Stories may link to external websites or resources where they provide useful additional information.
External websites are operated independently, and 282 Stories is not responsible for their availability, accuracy, content, privacy practices or subsequent changes.
A link to an external website does not necessarily constitute endorsement of everything published by that website.
Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, original written content, photographs, videos, graphics and other original material published on 282 Stories belong to 282 Stories and/or their respective creator.
You may view and share links to publicly available pages for personal and non-commercial purposes.
You may not reproduce, republish, sell, commercially exploit or present substantial original content from 282 Stories as your own without permission, except where permitted by law.
Third-party materials remain the property of their respective owners and are subject to their own terms and licences.
GPX File Use
Where GPX files are made available for download, they are provided for personal reference and non-commercial use unless stated otherwise.
You may use them to assist with your own route research, subject to the safety provisions in these Terms.
You may not sell, commercially redistribute or incorporate 282 Stories GPX files into a commercial route database, application, guide or other product without prior permission.
User Comments and Contributions
Where comments or other user contributions are enabled, users must not submit content that is unlawful, abusive, threatening, defamatory, deliberately misleading, infringing or otherwise inappropriate.
Spam and unauthorised promotional material are not permitted.
282 Stories reserves the right to moderate or remove comments or other submitted content where reasonably considered necessary.
Availability of the Website
282 Stories may change, update, reorganise or remove website content at any time.
Access to particular pages, downloads or features may also be changed or discontinued.
Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, 282 Stories accepts no responsibility for loss, damage or injury arising solely from reliance on information published on this website or from a person’s decision to undertake an outdoor activity based on that information.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude or restrict liability where doing so would be unlawful.
Privacy and Cookies
Use of personal information is explained in our Privacy Policy.
