Hi

A tip to ensure that you do enter the location correctly.

It is not necessary to know the GPS location of a site or to enter anything into the Latitude and Longitude boxes on the campsite submission form. This is done automatically for you during the last stage of the process.

The last stage of entry is the location of the campsite on the map. This has been described above and is quite easy.... and fun too as sometimes you will be able to see vans on site if you change the view to Satellite. (not in all areas)

NOW THE IMPORTANT PART:

Please do click on the " Save Campsite Location" link which will appear after you have placed the marker.

FAILURE to finish with this will mean no location is saved and all your time will have been wasted. Crying or Very sad

The picture below is now showing the new larger text for the link...if you miss this ....... Rolling Eyes

Hi everybody

I have just finished a process of checking for duplicates using Lat Long data exported from the database and number crunched in a spreadsheet. This is over and above work done by Olley and others to identify duplicates.

By this process I have identified about 30 possible duplicates due to having or nearly having the same lat long and I have been working through them.

Some were cleared as OK ie an aire tacked on to a municipal.

Some were duplicates and deleted. Mostly on the principle of last in first out, but some exceptions due to high grade of duplicate entry.

Some are awaiting response to pm's from me for clarification.

A few general points to help you.

When searching for duplicates don't type in full name of site, you are far more likely to find a hit if you type just a few letters into the name field. Repeat the check using some other criteria, say town. If you have access to the map zoom into your intended location first to check.

When entering names dont use punctuation, things like - , _ muck up searches and don't help our various checking tools. Dont put words like "Aire", "CC" and C&CC, site at the front of the name.

If you know your site is near or next to another one please cross refer in your entry, this makes it much less likely that it will be rejected or deleted as a duplicate.

Thank you.

I've just bumped this as entries are still getting through with punctuation in them
