Site Directory and Map 2017/2018

The handbook wins for me everytime, battery power has let me down!

And for us, and a decent map too is reqired. Can't always get signal when on some CLs so need book to seek follow-on sites, and use it for the directions to sites, as well.

I wouldn't be bothered if it didn't arrive at all. Not made use of it for years.  I appreaciate that some people do which is fine.  I do all my research and bookings online.  I would like to see the CC introduce an online only membership option, with no handbook or magazine like the C&CC do, at a slightly reduced membership fee.

Snap, the only time it is sometimes used is when approaching site for directions.This could also easily be made unnecessay by adding site directions to the email confirming a booking.

If you have a smartphone or a pad the directions are available on the app, even when you have no internet connection. We never take the book with us these days, although do refer to it occasionally at home. However, as you say it would be very easy to add them to the email, particularly the enjoy your holiday one, which has a little map, address and lat + long already.  Perhaps  they will take note.

I had forgotten that Steve, even so my other half isn't that good with Apps and technology and I do need the directions read to me for the last few miles when I am driving even as a check to what I have programmed into the sat nav using waypoints.

Maybe for some but there'll be many who don't have wifi on their phones, only use a laptop at home for their bookings & don't have a printer either ( or one that doesn't work, anyway), and others without any internet who rely soley on the site directory for site information & directions.

A very small minority! They will be the ones who will eventually have to pay a higher subscription for a paper service.

Aa an aside I note the C&CC's electronic subscription has remained flat for the past 3 years at £37 while that of the CC's has increased £4 from £44 to £48 this year.

I hope this years map is easier to read than last effort. I think it poor as well that a new map and at least any site ammendments are not sent out annually instead of issuing the info every two years.

Site ammendments and map changes could be printed in the "magazine" on a special page that turned the printed bit into stickers to put on the map.

Nav,  do  you  mean  like  those  Address  stickies  that  come  with  the  C/mas  draw  tickets  blocking  up  my  letterbox  these  days  ??

Getting the booklet is the most desirable bit of my annual fee. Put the uodates in the Mag in tearable form so we can attch to booklet. Not rocket science.
