How do you search for a CL?

Actually Method 2 seems to be the easiest if searching by town, then resetting distance.

It's no good searching by County with towns like Retford as within 20 miles there are 4 Counties. I know because I did the 4 counties run when working there. 

Yes Nellie, I have to say that I have not usually put a town in as quite often when touring about I am not sure of exactly which town is where. I would have liked it, if having zoomed in on the country map and picked out a cl to look at the details, when I closed those details it went back to the zoomed in area I was looking at rather than back to the map of the whole country. I am being picky.

I really only got interested in the subject through reading the post of FB which said she looked at a 25 miles radius of Retford and I could not see how she did it as on the website it says 20.

If I'm looking I  click on the county, then a possible town. If I spot a CL that might be ok I click on the map link on the actual CL page to see where it is etc. I tend not to use the map until this point and I also look at the others nearby if needed which does give actual distances from the search point (bottom of the page.)

Looks like we all have our own ways of searching!

What is the use of the app? If you haven't got the site directory to hand just the sites location map, you find a numbered lozenge in the area you like ,check the app no lozenge reference (perhaps its just me).

It might have been once in a time, ET, but there's nowt there now according to the Site Directory, as far a s i can see.

Thanks will try that method though.

If you pick a CL on the map then click on it and it's name & description will appear. Right click on the name and a new tab will open with the site and all it's details. The map will still be available to go back to, in the area that you selected in it's original tab. You can use the new tab to look at other sites listed near the selected one or just close it and choose another CL on the map. You can open out or close down the map to whatever distance from your chosen area as much as you like. With the map at small scale, ie large area, the CLs are bunched together. Opening up the map results in individual CLs coming to the fore. Hope that this makes sense,

Nellie you are a genius. I have always left clicked on the site name and therefore lost the map. Thank you so much.

My pleasure, but you really need to thank brue for the tip as I got it from her.

Passing on tips like this is just what this forum is great for.

Do NOT rely on the map provided by the Club.  It can 'point' to the wrong CL entirely.

I was informed yesterday by a fellow CL owner that guests turned up at his CL convinced they had made a booking, to find that in fact they were booked into a rival CL 1/4 mile away.

The two CLs both appear on the CAMC map, but there positions are juxtaposed.

I assume that there has been a clerical error either by the Adviser or at HQ.  

I am assuming that HQ relies on Postal Codes - which as we all know can cover a vast area in rural locations.

If the Club adopted a more accurate / modern format such as www.what3words.com it might alleviate such issues.

The easy way I find a CL is to look in the Handbook and a road atlas . 

Eg: two weeks ago I wanted to see if there was a suitable CL between Wells and Longleat. I looked at the handbook for Wells, didn't find anything suitable, looked at the map and saw that Frome was on route so looked in the handbook and found just what I needed. I then phoned and made a booking. 

It was simple and quick.
