Ever found yourself mid-hike wondering why the hill you're struggling up is called Dodd? Or what that sheep who is currently fleeing your presence in a blind panic is called? Perhaps you've also considered whether you should get trekking poles — are they the ergonomic miracle your knees were promised, or simply two expensive sticks designed to complicate your life?

The answers to all those things, and several others you didn't know you needed to know, are right here. Welcome to TrailTrack's Guides.
