Milestone Mugs
A mug is the everyday version of a milestone.
One route per mug, with as many or as few of the text lines filled in as you like: distance and elevation gain, the dates, and a line of your own, each of them optional. Or your own photo instead of the watercolor artwork.
It goes into the cupboard with everything else and turns up again on an ordinary Tuesday morning, which is rather the point.

Germany to Italy on foot, and back in your own kitchen.
Out of Oberstdorf and up through the Sperrbachtobel, over the Lechtal and down into the Inn valley. Then the long climb to the point where the main Alpine ridge finally gives way — and on the far side the light changes, vineyards appear on the slopes, and the last valley down to Merano speaks Italian. Three countries, one line across the map, all of it under your own boots. This mug puts your photo from that crossing back on the shelf you reach for every morning, with the route running all the way round.
On the mug
- Your own photo from the crossing, wrapped round the front
- A stylized map of the E5 route with the trail's key stats
- Your dates and a line of your own, if you want them on there
See the photos and the video for the full design all the way round.
For yourself, or for whoever crossed with you.
The original Way, before anything else in the morning.
The high Hospitales route with the ruins of the old shelters on the ridge and nothing else up there at all. Asturian rain. A village bar with one table. Then the day the Primitivo drops down and joins the crowds again at Melide. Oviedo to Santiago over the mountains, the first pilgrim route of them all — and this mug carries the whole line of it, wrapped right round.
Two editions

For your own shelf, or for a pilgrim who took the hard route on purpose.
The Camino along the sea, next to the kettle.
The Basque coast in the first week, up and over one headland after another. Cantabria in the fog, an empty beach at seven in the morning. Then the day the route finally turns inland for Galicia. Irún to Santiago is the quieter Way, the greener one, and rather harder than it looks from a map. This mug carries it right round — the coast, the green hills, the sea light.
Two editions
- Basic — a watercolor view of the northern Way, wrapped right round the mug
- My own picture — your own photo from the walk in its place

For your own cupboard, or for a pilgrim who chose the long way round too.
Iceland's highlands, from the shelf where the mugs live.
Landmannalaugar in the steam, the rhyolite hills going orange and green and grey in the same hour. Black obsidian underfoot. A river crossing that woke you up properly. Then the birch of Thórsmörk at the end, and something green again. This mug carries the Laugavegur right round it, with the dotted line running on over the pass to Skógar — for everyone who kept walking.
Two editions

For your own shelf, or for whoever waded the rivers beside you.
Coast to coast along the Wall, back on the kitchen table.
The crags west of Housesteads, where the Wall runs along the cliff line and the whole of Northumberland opens out to the north. Rain sideways across the moor. A Roman fort with the barrack floors still legible under your boots. From the Tyne to the Solway, on a line somebody surveyed nearly two thousand years ago — and this mug carries it right round.

England's longest National Trail, on a mug you actually use.
Maybe all of it, maybe one stretch you keep going back to: the north Cornwall cliffs, the coves nobody drives to, the Jurassic Coast in the last hour of light. Minehead round to Poole Harbour, with the climbing arriving in short brutal instalments the whole way. This mug carries the coast right round it — cliff edge, sea, and the path running on ahead.
Two editions

For your own shelf, or for the person who carried the other half of the picnic.
Chamonix to Zermatt, one cup at a time.
A pass at first light with nobody else on it. The glacier you could hear before you could see it. The moment the Matterhorn finally stood there at the end of the valley and the whole crossing made sense at once. The Walker's Haute Route runs from one great mountain to the other, high across the Valais, and this mug carries the line of it right round the outside.
Two editions

Portugal's wild southwest, on the mug you reach for first.
Soft sand that took twice the effort, cliffs dropping straight into the Atlantic, storks nesting on sea stacks — that is the Fishermen's Trail. Inland, the Historic Trail runs through cork oak and rockrose, quiet villages and long open tracks. Both head down the Alentejo and Algarve coast towards the southwest corner of Europe. This mug carries the one you walked, all the way round.
Two editions

- Basic — a watercolor view of that route, wrapped right round the mug

FAQs
Everything happens on the product page itself.
On an ornament: choose the variant, then enter the year you walked the trail — or NONE, to leave the year off.
On a mug: three fields, all of them optional, printing as four lines. The labels — distance and elevation gain, the dates, a line of your own — are suggestions; what goes on them is up to you.
On either, choose the photo variant to send a picture of your own instead of the watercolor artwork. Tick the two boxes and add it to the basket.
A photo order is placed in the design by hand, and you get a proof before anything goes to print.
Both mugs and ornaments are ceramic and printed via sublimation (permanent artwork). Mugs handle everyday dishwasher/microwave use; ornaments are durable keepsakes (not meant for dishwashers/microwaves).
Getting your keepsake ready to print usually takes 2 to 6 business days, then printing and post. These are usual times, not a guaranteed arrival date.
Designed in France, printed in the EU, the US or Canada, whichever is closest to you.
It’s calculated at checkout by location and item. Mixed orders (e.g., a mug and an ornament) may ship separately and show separate shipping.
On the day you order, changes are still possible — get in touch straight away. After that the order has gone to production. Made-to-order products aren’t returnable unless there’s a print or transit issue.
Upload your image on the product page. There is nothing to crop or position — it is placed in the design by hand, and you get a proof before anything is printed. Good light and clear colours work best; anything over 1000 px on the long edge is fine. Sublimation has a gently softened look by design.
Yes. We use it only to create your keepsake and don’t share it.
