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

Hi Nellie.

Sorry about delay I was 'orff doing something else.

As far as CAMC maps are concerned Whitby doesn't exist!! Yorkshire exists and North Yorkshire exists but neither of them include Whitby.

We'll have to wait and see what they say.

Have just tried it again and neither the North Yorkshire Moors Club Campsite, nor the Scarborough West Ayton Club Campsite, or the Bridlington Club Campsite exist, according to the search results!!

Have just typed in York and it gives me the two club sites to select from, then selecting either results in "no sites found". Ignore those choices and select search and the map displays 50 locations, club sites and CLs, within 20 mls of York. (Shaking head imoji)

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?

Quite honestly I don't see the problem, just select Club Site or Cl or both open map to full screen and zoom in to Whitby.

I assume what the OP wants to do is have a blanket view of CL's in a particular area, Devon and Cornwall being mentioned. It seems that you are best going into the drop down menu and selecting a town which will then bring up all the CL's in that area. The problem with that is that it doesn't give you a wider map view of the CL's available. When you select a CL and click on "map" the CL does show, so they are there. Putting to one side the habitual problems we have with the forum even the main site is poor. Having said that if you use the App on your phone or tablet it does come up with all the available Club sites and CL's, see below.

Which is exactly the same result as Search by map on PC.

But surely the whole idea of the map is to be able to select a specific town, by typing in its name and not having to go right though the drop down menu, and focus in on that area. The question I asked is why it works fine for some places but not others, particularly those in N.Yorkshire.

I find the whole process of searching for CLs on here extremely frustrating

OH uses the App and finds that much better..

I am so sorry you have had issues with this. It is an intermittent known issue. We're working hard to launch our new booking platform which will be landing soon and will replace this page.

'You' have apparently been working on this website for years ..... it's hard to tell though. It must be the slowest site on the web despite it frequently being down overnight for maintenance.

Thanks, Ro.  I have had an email saying that they (whoever they are) will look into the issues I raised.

Let's hope that the new booking platform works more effectively than the current one.
