Submit Walk

Future walk programme compilation.

Overview

This new platform provides a much more stable environment and also has the advantages of improved support and a look and feel that is closer to the Ramblers style. This new environment will mean a change in the way we compile our walks programme.

Submitting a walk

There are two methods for creating walks. If someone has led the same walk previously you can copy the walk, if it is a new walk then you will need to enter all of the information.

On the Walks page Click on “Cards View" to bring up the dropdown list and select “Add non-Sunday Walk”. This creates the walk and shows a series of tabs as shown below which allow details of the walk to be entered.

Edit existing walk Awaiting walk details from leader page

Use the "Copy..." Tab if you are planning a walk that has previously been in a programme and skip to Section 2.
