Really love the idea. I'm sure you will get loads of attention from the hiking community. It's a great niche to target too - I imagine its quite underserviced with lots of enthusiastic people who can help promote your site.
Something to look out for: the site seems very processor intensive. Using IE7 on a Core 2 6400 1gb ram the site becomes unresponsive and CPU is pegged at 50% - 90% each time the map is moved/zoomed.
Full screen map seems to be a killer. Maybe anbother way to display info such as large static map where you choose a region and then a smaller interactive map overlaid?
Also - is this a hobby project? If not how are you planning on monetizing?

Great work overall though.
