Proud to partner with What3words First of all, Let's Go Peak District is extremely proud to be working with What3words - we believe in their innovation, and see all of the value in making location finding accessible to all. This is not a replacement for a map, good map reading skills will always be a benefit to you. W3W is not always about navigation, it is about knowing where you are should an emergency occur.
