This page tells you what
information we want to collect, and
along with any pictures you want to send, how to email it into us for inclusion.
So what do we need from you:
General description
Start the
page with a general description of the location, keep it crisp and to what you
and the photographer want to know, or find most useful.
Photographs
We like to
include photographs where we can within any of the guides as this gives a visual
idea of what can be seen and photographed when we get there.
Photographs should be submitted as jpg 640 x 480 at 72dpi
images (this is good enough quality for website use). Please only send in 1
or 2 for the Quick Guides.
The
Grid
This small grid gives
basic information on the location and includes links to
website and contact information as well as links to other
useful information available over the internet. This format allows the user to be able
to find out about the location prior to their visit, and gives them enough
information to get there. It has been formatted so that they can print it out to take with them. We realise that some of this information you either won't
know or know how to work out so do your best and we will try to complete any
missing information. When you submit it you can do so either as a table within
your email or as a list and we will format it.
Location: Place name and nearest place |
Ceremonial County: Leave this blank |
Grid Reference: This is the 8 digit grid
reference off of OS maps, or
Multimap
will give it to you if you key in the
name of the place. If you know it, also give an OS Map number, remember to
include the series i.e. Landranger, Explorer etc. |
Map Link: Use
Multimap
or
Google Maps
for
this. Or leave blank and we will work it out when we put the page together.
You can have more than one map link. See our
Map links in the reference section. |
Aerial photo:
Google Maps,
Multimap
and
Microsoft Live Map
allows the possibility of linking to a satellite or aerial photo of
the location. Put the links in here or leave blank and we will work it out
when we put the page together. |

only the driving directions, but also details of any footpaths or obstacles which have to be overcome. |
