@links.dartboard.socialHi all,
It's been a fun few months, but I wanted to let everyone know that I'll be shutting down links.dartboard.social on 1/1/24. I wanted to give everyone a month to make arrangements with other communities.
At some point in October we had a data loss due to some stupid administration decisions I made when doing an update. I realized my heart was not in maintaining this place; I'm much more in tune with the microblog side of the fediverse (find me at @knova@lostcreek.social). As such, I'll be shuttering this community and creating a casual account for myself on another instance to continue my lurking.
I'm not sure what the next best camping-and-hiking community is on the fediverse but we collectively have 30 days to find it together. Thanks to everyone who posted content and engaged with each other for the last few months.
I am curious what apps/services you guys use to look up the weather forecast in the places you’re hiking to. I partially use OpenSnow, but the free version is not very detailed.

Sorry for the wall of text, but as we put it all down, we realised that we had to add more and more criteria.
We are planning our last trip for this year and are based in Germany. Our plans/funds unfortunately don't allow something as far away as Scotland/Sweden/... so we are looking in Germany, Denmark, BeNeLux, Western France, Austria or Switzerland.
Ideally, this trail is not too much of a misery in autumn. We are fine with lots of ups and down, but not equipped for mountains or very alpine terrain in this time of the year. We would be fine with huts or shelters, but could also wild camp (if it's no too much of a hassle). Doing just a certain section (5days max) would be fine for us as well.
Bonus points for remoteness and beautiful nature. Walking along roads, forestry roads or villages all day is a bit monotone after a while.
Might be that this does not exist; we enjoyed e.g. the West Highland Way very much and are looking forward for Sweden/Norway.
Hey everyone, I was just wondering if anyone had had the chance to try out these two apps. Which do you prefer? What are the pros and cons of each?
