CL Map with Links

The removal of an easily used map with markers that linked to CL information pages has been a considerable irritation to me and, I think, many others.

As I'm not expecting a resolution to the current situation any time soon I've written a process to extract the publicly available CL info from the Club web site have pulled this into a map for me to use in preference to the Club's new offerings. The location markers are based on the address and postcodes listed on the CL pages.

I've found I can share this and so if you'd like a possibly quicker and easier way to get to CL information, you could try:

https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1vB5srTiSxJNjC38-x34o6SmsHx69TmY&usp=sharing  

Short Link http://clsites.mx9.uk

You should be able to zoom in and out to get to an area you're interested in.

Click on a marker to see the name of the CL and a link to its information page. You may get a redirect warning depending on your browser and security settings.

I hope this is useful to people, but do post back if you see any problems.

David,

No, not a problem to share the map - anything to make life easier for people!

To help with this I've set up the alias:

http://clsites.mx9.uk

which redirects to the rather longer Google URL

https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1vB5srTiSxJNjC38-x34o6SmsHx69TmY&usp=sharing

Would you be able to include the short URL in the first post?

I took another look at the map which I'd broken down geographically to keep within the 2,000 marker upload limit for a group. I've now changed this to list CLs with and without EHU which I thought might be more helpful.

Also, I've changed the location to use the latitude and longitude which should be more accurate than the address and have included the CL price as listed on the CL info pages.

I hope people find this helpful. I'll refresh the listing every month or so.

Regards,

Alan

Alan, if members find that a CL they are using has increased their site fee above that listed on your map is there any way for them to contact you with the current fee so that you can update your list, or would just a reply to this post with the price suffice? 

For example we are currently on Dale View, No.791 and the per night price is £17 not as printed £16.

Nellie, the information on map is taken from the CL pages on the Club site - I don't edit any of the information displayed. 

If a price is wrong it would need to be updated by the Club so the right price shows on the CL page and the next time I refresh the map it should be picked up.

We've been to Dale View a few times - we were snowed in there for a few days during the Beast from the East!

Thanks, Alan, it was just a thought. That means that there will continue to be many incorrect prices as the "club" does not seem interested in ensuring that the site data is current.

We too have been here a few times. It is a fine site, but miserable today with drizzle and low cloud so no views to speak of.

What a great resource - I love the CL network having stayed at a few last year.  Thank you.

Hey, Berty, the 'Member' banner is missing from your avatar. I guess, like me, you’ve not renewed since using the CLs.
