Search for a CL

I gave up last week trying to search CLs online. Quickest method for us is using handbook and map, then check out details, reviews etc on line. Search using online map or by county/towns is utterly useless and long winded. I do take a look at new CLs online as they might not be in handbook yet. 

Another website feature the club should be very proud of 😢😤😔

Hi Mollysmummy

Im sorry to hear you are experiencing difficulties searching for CL's.

When searching with the Map it will bring up CL's in a 20 mile radius of the location. You may see Gray Pins with numbers on them, this means there are a number of CL's in close proximity to one another. You would need to zoom in on the Map to see these.

Could I ask where about in the UK you were looking for so I can see if there is an issue?

Thanks

I think most of us know the theory behind searching by map, four long winded clicks to actually get to the map and have it bring up CLs only as opposed to Club Sites. But then the map is so sensitive that you are quite a while expanding it, shifting it around to centre on area you want. One wrong move and whoosh.....I just found myself looking at Africa! (No sign of a CL there by the way) Search by map is probably my least favourite method, and therefore perhaps I need a bit more practice!

But scrolling down all the towns, finding a highlighted one was something of a retrograde step from the pre website update method, and you have to know an area reasonably well to know where in that area the town highlighted actually is located! often miles away from where you want to actually stay. But my geographical knowledge of some places has improved!

Hi Maddie

I know the theory, but as Take the Dog says, theory & practice are worlds apart. I was trying to look around Skipton area but the  only way to get a map is via Club sites but even when you tick the CL box there are no CLs shown. It doesn't even show the CLs I already know of. 

As Take the Dog says,  even using the search section takes for ever & a bit.

Hi Molly. Take a look at this CL close to Skipton, we used it a couple of years ago, wouldn't hesitate to go back! Only thing not perfect is we had to walk dogs on long leads down quiet roads for that early morning, late night last walk. Having said that, roads were very quiet, CL is a stunner. If you ring and enquire, they might have a field free for dog walking, but we were off site all day, so it didn't bother us. Around 15 minutes easy, lovely drive back into Skipton. Hope this helps! By the way, if you want a good guide to a decent doggy CL, just ask Nellie!

Thank you ttda .... I'll take a proper look later after work 😉

Hi Mollysmummy

There is also Hurries Farm in Skipton as well.

Thanks

You have to click search after ticking the CL box. Best then to expand to full screen and zoom in to where you want.

when you've zoomed into a CL on the map and clicked it for details you cannot easily get back to see other CLs in the locality. Before the upgrade you could right click and bring up adjacent CLs. I'm afraid this gets awarded my backwards progress stamp of non approval.
