Cannot find CL's on map on this site

I rejoined the club after a ten year absence where we were mainly touring Europe so no point in joining really. So I am busy searching CL sites for a long tour of the UK this year and I am frustrated to see that club website is worse than it ever was. I cannot find anything and its so slow it feels like dial up all over again.

I am trying to search by Map for CL sites in Devon and Cornwall. I tick the box for CL sites when I eventually find the search by map facility and take off the tick for Club sites. All I get is the club sites, no CL's. I am just using the excellent searchforsites website as it pretty much has most of them on but not all of them. 

Am I doing something wrong or is it just broken?

EDIT: I Cant even add a screen shot URL!  Will try and add it as a picture

Plan B. Use the campsite search facility on UKCampsite.co.uk and click the filter for member only sites - you can get a map that way. It will include CS as well as CLs

Thanks, Yes I can do that which is kind of what I am doing with https://www.searchforsites.co.uk/ 

Do you know if UKcampsites is up to date though.  I did find a really useful map on here of all the Off grid CLs which is what we prefer.

However I would still like to be able to just use this website but the way it is right now its just not possible. It took me 40 seconds just to open this thread to see your post.

Have you tried the club's app? I have just done a trial run on that, using Truro as the centre of my 25 ml radius search, and the result is showing 76 sites, Club, AS and CLs, in total by map and listing. Using the search criteria of CLs with EHU, H/S, Open all year, and dogs welcome there are 19 CLs listed.

Using "search by map" on the club's website just now, again with Truro as the centre of a 20 ml search area, it has shown the location of 61 CLs in total.

I tried the map, and got what you show, but maybe you made the same mistake as me.

After removing the tick for Club sites and ticking for CLs, you need to click that green search button again.

OH finds our sites, she prefers  to use the app initially, and also likes the search function on UK Campsite.

I confess to preferring the paper map when researching CLs, then armed with a possible number looking it up in the manual.  

Snag is the paper map tends to disintegrate after 12 months use of folding and re-folding.

Just a personal reference!

I had a strange occurrence with the on line map today. I was trying to look for CL sites using Whitby as the locus and got a message "Sorry no sites found" ( or words to that effect). Tried it with Scarborough, and North Yorkshire Moors with the same result. However when I used Carlisle as the locus it produced the expected result, and also the same using Conway. 

I have just gone back to the map, put in Whitby, again, and get the same message "No available sites found", and the same for York. But using Cardiff the expected results appear!!!!

What the heck is going on? Would someone please report my post?

Cheers, WN.👍 If you have a spare few minutes could you have a bash at doing a map search using Whitby as locus and see what you come up with, if you don't mind, please.?

I have emailed the technical dept reporting it too, but you know what they are like in responding to direct postings!!!😲
