Most of the iWalk Cornwall routes are between 4-6 miles which very roughly corresponds to 2-4 hours walking time. This can either be done as a half-day walk, or as a longer day out with time left over to explore beaches and stop for a meal in a café etc.
To support walks longer than this, on the information page about each walk within the "Walks shop" section of the app, many of the walks have an "Adjoining walks" section.
This allows a more demanding walk to be planned by stitching 2 of the normal circular routes together to make a longer figure-of-8 walk. Here are some tips for how you can use the app to do this:

This allows a more demanding walk to be planned by stitching 2 of the normal circular routes together to make a longer figure-of-8 walk. Here are some tips for how you can use the app to do this:
- Just before you approach the point where the 2 routes join, exit the first walk and load up the second. This will gives the app chance to track you approaching the direction point on the second walk, and it will start recording progress for the second walk.
- If the first walk meets the second walk part-way around:
- the app will offer to start the second walk from this location (accept).
- When you reach the end of what's normally the second walk, make your way to direction 1 and the app will offer to continue navigating from here (accept).
- As you approach the point where the 2 walks join, exit the second walk and open the first walk. All your progress on the first walk will have been saved so the app will detect you approaching the direction point where the 2 routes meet and lead you around the remainder of the first walk.
