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

Firstly apologies for not responding for a while. We are away now down in the south west and I forgot about the thread to be honest.

That is exactly what I have been doing and its still not working. See screenshot below. I am using Google chrome. Ive just been resorting to using Searchforsites but as said, for all I know I could be missing a few. Site is still way too slow also. Thanks for the suggestions to use the phone app but I really dont like them. Much easier on a laptop with a big screen where you can copy and past post codes, wack them straight into google maps etc, work out routes and then send them straight to my sat nav.

We used searchforsites for our latest Dumfries and Galloway tour a couple of weeks ago. We found it by far easiest website to use, allows you to discard any kind of sites you don’t want, utilise a certain radius of travel. You cannot rely on CAMC CL information being correct, we have encountered numerous instances where CLs on map are incorrectly located.

If you like to mix up your sites, rather than sticking to anything purely “Club”, S4S is very useful.

Its a shame the Club don't make the App available from the Microsoft Store then you could use the App on your laptop. I also use a laptop when I am away but have usually already decided which sites I will use on a trip so have no need to make changes once on the road. (I am of course assuming you are using a Windows laptop?)

David, I tried to load the app onto my kindle, after it informing me that it would download, but after numerous attempts am still having no joy.

It works for me too and the search expands by clicking on the CL markers. The more you click the more you can see.

Using my Android phone.

Apps are operating system dependent. I am not sure what system a Kindle uses. Margaret's (very old) Kindle seems to be compatible with Windows, in as much as you can see and move files, perhaps this has changed over the years? I think the Club only supply the App in Android and Apple format which is usually fine for a smart phone or tablet using the same system. Whilst on the subject of Kindle, Margaret has been informed by Amazon that soon she may not be able to download books because her device is getting too old. Looks like an easy choice for a Christmas present Be interesting see how they have evolved over the years.

I believe Kindle Fire uses a much altered version of Android, David. 🤷‍♂️

I usually use Safari, but am now on Chrome, on an i pad, and have tried the map search, it works fine for me.
