How to cite and embed hikes.guide
The licence, in one sentence
Everything hikes.guide makes itself is free to reuse under CC BY 4.0: use it, quote it, build on it, and credit hikes.guide with a link. Where a page is built on Crown data (the Met Office climate series, for example) that source is under the Open Government Licence and named on the data sources page; please honour it too. The datasets themselves are on the open data page.
The credit, ready to paste
Two formats. Either is fine; the plain one is the whole ask.
For a specific report, the report page carries its own citation line with the data year, under “Grab the citation”.
Four things worth linking to, in forty words
If you keep a links page, a walks-from-here page or a car-free days-out page, these are the four we would ask for. Edit them freely.

Chart embeds
13 charts, grouped by the report they come from. Open one and it shows you the chart at your own column width, which is what your readers would get; each is a self-contained page you drop in with an iframe. They carry their own credit line and fit the width of your column (the height is fixed at 420 pixels).
What an embed loads: nothing but the chart. No script, no cookie, no tracking pixel on your page. We ask for the credit link the chart already carries, and nothing else.
Climate since Wainwright (4 charts, from the climate report)
Mountain Rescue (9 charts, from the Mountain Rescue report)
What we ask, and what we don’t
A credit link. That is all. No reciprocal link, no wording you did not choose, no badge. If something you cite changes, the changelog says what and when, and the contact page reaches a person who will answer.
