Tell us a bit about yourself and how you like to get outside?
Hello! I’m Gab, the creator behind @Getlostmcr. I started Getlost to show people living in a city you don’t always need to travel a million miles away, or climb the highest mountain, to reconnect with nature and fully unplug. Adventure is what you make of it — and sometimes, the best adventures are those hidden gems found right on your own doorstep.

With the help of OS Maps, I try to shine a light on the routes less-travelled, hoping to inspire people to leave the hustle and bustle behind, escape the routine, and get ‘lost’ in nature… even if it is for half an hour on their lunch break.
@getlostmcr 🔗Full guide in bio. WINTER HILL 🚂 Piccadilly > Bolton, 17 mins This Lancashire walk takes you to two incredible viewpoints in one route — Winter Hill via Rivington Pike. NB: bus required from Bolton to Rivington. WINNATS PASS 🚂 Piccadilly > Hope, 49 mins This walk takes you high above Winnats Pass so you can soak up the Peak District from all angles. THE TORRS 🚂 Piccadilly > New Mills Central, 20 mins Below the hustle and bustle of New Mills lies a (not so) hidden gem: The Torrs. Expect colourful cliffs, enormous viaducts and a long bridge that transports you to the Goyt Way. FAIRY WOOD 🚂 Piccadilly > Hathersage, 57 mins Starting and ending in quaint Peak District village, Hathersage, this is a perfect route if you prefer your walks to start and end in a country pub or cosy cafe. BAMFORD EDGE 🚂 Piccadilly > Bamford, 53 mins This walk offers some of the best views in the Peak District. With just a short climb at the start, you’ll be instantly rewarded with incredible views of Ladybower and Derwent Reservoirs. SEVEN FALLS 🚂 Piccadilly > Hadfield, 38 mins Looking for a (not so) secret place to take a dip after a day of exploring? Then a trip to Seven Falls hidden in Tintwistle’s vast moorland is a must. HARPUR HILL 🚂 Piccadilly > Buxton, 1 hour Looking to escape the crowds? Topley Pike Nature Reserve is home to rolling hills, all-to-yourself valleys and stunning surrounds every way you turn. LUMB FALLS 🚂 Victoria > Hebden Bridge, 27 mins Whether you want to visit Sylvia Plath’s resting place or head over to Lumb Falls for a wild dip, this walk is perfect for escaping the city for the day. THE TRINNACLE 🚂 Piccadilly > Greenfield, 22 mins Located high on the hills of Saddleworth Moor, The Trinnacle juts out from the moorlands above Dovestone Reservoir. LYME ESTATE 🚂 Piccadilly > Disley, 30 mins With over 1,400 acres of rugged moorland to explore, we’ve listed a few of our favourites on our website (link in bio).

Gabriella Wieland’s Favourite Hiking Route – Parkhouse, Chrome and Hollins Hills, Derbyshire/Staffordshire
While my favourite routes are typically those less-travelled, it’s a popular Peak District walk that steals the top spot for me: Dragon’s Back. It’s truly an otherworldly place that I find myself going back to time and time again. It just never misses! The walk up to Chrome and Parkhouse hill really makes you feel like you’ve stepped inside the Tolkien universe, and who doesn’t want that from their Sunday wander?

What’s your fave bit of kit available on the OS Shop?
I love this Osprey daypack for two reasons: it’s lightweight enough for my shorter frame, but still packs everything I need in Including trekking pole attachments for those precarious descents.
