Been trying to search for CLs in Devon selected "all towns" but once once I added filters which were  dogs allowed, electric and toilets it said no matches, any one else had problems? Searched a few weeks ago for West Sussex area and it was fine,

Gosh, I am am trying to plan a tour using CL's .How on earth do you use the web search facility to do this? I need a web map with CL's shown on them. Check out the other clubs website much much easier to use. Guess I will resort to the paper map and book!! Backwards progress again!

Andy, If you select "UK Holidays" from the top row when you've signed in, then select "Club Sites" you will get a menu "Book a Club Site" at the bottom of which it says "Search by map". Select that and you'll see the Map Search page. There you can then select "Show Certificated Locations". Then type in a location that you want to visit, click on "Search" and the map will show all the CLs in that area. It does work, after it's own fashion. We use it in conjunction with the paper map and site directory.

Hope this helps.

Great description of how to find the search by map facility Nellie, unfortunately the search facility is still not working properly and all CL's in a search by county will not show up. For example entering Devon will only pull up sites in mid & South Devon the North of Devon does not feature at all and there are many lovely CL's in this area frown.

It looks to me as though you need to enter a town or city to get any sensible results. County searches just return CLs within 20 miles of the county town/city (eg Exeter for Devon, Gloucester for Gloucestershire). Area searches are also rather strange. Enter 'Cotswolds' and you get CLs in Wales. Enter 'The Cotswolds' and you get CLs around Bristol/Bath!

Andy

It works if you plan your by using Counties as a route and then Towns

Don't think paper map and book are backwards progress because they work every time not unlike the internet.undecided

Claire, I did say to use the web site in conjunction with the paper map. As Alan says the system will only show CLs within 20 mls of the town one selects. You can of course just select all CLs and then navigate to the area one wants. I've just done it that way and found your CL on the map.

BTW, we would probably use your site but as you don't allow dogs we won't be able to, unfortunately.

I've found the easiest way is to have two windows open - one with the "search by map" facility and narrow down to CL's search and the second window with the name/town search and do it that way flicking between the two windows.  Bit of a faff and would have expected a more stream lined user friendly service on line but needs must.
