Report covering multiple WH walks

Report covering multiple WH walks


Postby Bearded Wanderer » Thu Oct 26, 2017 5:35 pm

Further to zatapathetique's query on linking from more than one route (viewtopic.php?f=18&t=65655), I have a slightly different problem, in that the walk I'm writing a report on serially follows a number of walks. I walked from Pitlochry to Blair Atholl (https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/perthshire/pitlochry-blair-atholl.shtml), up to Bynack (https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/perthshire/blair-atholl-bynack.shtml), over the Lairig Ghru (https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/cairngorms/lairig-ghru.shtml), through the Ryvoan Pass (https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/cairngorms/ryvoan-pass.shtml), up to Grantown-on-Spey (much of this: https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/cairngorms/grantown-boat-of-garten.shtml), then out to Forres (https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/moray/dava-way.shtml).

I think I can only link my report from one of these.

Is this correct?

If not, how does the relevant part of the site work?

You can only link to one. If you're really keen on getting all of the walks linked to reports, you would need to split the trip up into 6 parts.

Yes, malky_c is right - you can split your report into several separate linked ones and connect each of those to the appropriate route.

The one place I find this causes problems is on long distance walks - quite often on the website you've split them up into small sections which can be combined in different ways, or split off one small section which can be tagged on to the part on either side, and even if not, it's very easy to walk (part of) one section and part of another in a single day.

Tagging it with the whole route is fine if you did it all quite close together, but what am I supposed to do if (for example) I walked from Portavadie to the junction with the Glendaruel road, and don't know when I'll be back?? (Serious question - I am curious to know what you intended :-) )
