If you mean all the stages of a long distance route like the West Highland Way - you need to download each stage individually from the page for that stage.

However, we were contacted by officers from Police Scotland last year, asking us to change the site to try to make users read the safety information provided in each route and stage we feature, as Police MR teams have concerns that it has become too easy to download GPX files from the internet (not specifically Walkhighlands) as their only research, and failing to get other necessary supporting information about routes.
We've added in extra steps to downloading GPX files at their advice, and after I had discussions with one of their officers I don't think we could make a change in the opposite direction. I do realise it's less convenient for you but when using our GPX files you have to go to the relevant pages to get them rather than a bulk download.

I’m using Memory Map on am iPhone so it will require a lot of poking around.
