The Activity Listings
Every time we try an activity, I add the details under Activities.
Some activities have a special feel and these are also listed under Adventures and other relevant categories, for example Top Rated Adventures, Magical Adventures, Free Entry Adventures, Adventure Play and Wild Adventures.
These are the full lists of categories and tags.
The Maps
There are two maps that look like this:
One map shows the location of all activities and the other shows the location of those activities that are free:
(a) Where To Go Map
Where to Go Map (computer screen)
Where to Go Map (mobile screen)
(b) Where To Go For Free Map
Where to Go for Free Map (computer screen)
Where to Go for Free Map (mobile screen)
When labelling an activity as free, I have not taken into account travel costs (including the cost of car parking) and have decided to include National Trust properties and RHS gardens in both lists as they are free for members.
The Map Features 1. Markers Each activity has a marker. Clicking on a marker will open an information box with further details, including cost, post code and the website link. 2. Categories Each activity has been allocated one of these categories: 3. The Legend Each category has a different colour, which is shown in the legend at the top of the map. If you click the dots to the right of the legend, you can see a list of every category and colour. By ticking or unticking the categories in the legend, you choose which activities the map shows. 4. List of Activities You can open a list of all the activities by clicking on the arrow at the top right of the map. Clicking on an activity in the list will bring up its marker on the map. You can search the list by pressing the CTRL key (or the cmd key on a Mac) and F key. 5. Locate Box This can be found in the map’s top right hand corner and can be used to find a place on the map.
