Outdoor PitstopHow we write
Coco, the writer of our editorial team, makes the posts with the help of AI. A post starts with a question walkers and cyclists really search for, such as where to find a toilet or drinking water on the way.
Every post is signed by the Outdoor Pitstop editors. That makes clear the text was not written by one person.
Where the numbers come from
The numbers in a post come from our own database: pitstops, routes and points of interest from OpenStreetMap, with photos, reviews and checks by people who use the app.
Next to a number is the date we counted it. The map changes every day, so a number is always the count on that day.
Who checks the posts
Robin, the founder of Outdoor Pitstop, is editor-in-chief. Every post is reviewed by the editorial team before it goes online. We check whether the text is right, whether it is useful and whether it fits how we write about the outdoors.
Below a post it says who reviewed it, with the date: “Reviewed by Robin, editor-in-chief” or “Reviewed by the editorial team”. If the text changes after that, the line disappears until the new version has been reviewed.
How we update posts
When the numbers change or a tip no longer holds, we update the post. At the top you then see the date of the last change next to the publication date.
Spotted a mistake? Let us know through the contact form and we will look at it as soon as we can.
Who we link to
We link to our own pages with the map, routes and pitstops, and where needed to official sources such as a council or a nature organisation. We do not link to other apps and websites with maps of facilities.
