Improvements to Log Book

If you're registered on our site then you will have noticed a link top right for "your log book". We've been doing a lot of work to improve the log book facility recently. For a start we've added maps. So this is how the first page of the log book now looks:

Logbook: overview

On the left a very basic summary of hills climbed each year, on the right a map showing where every hill you've climbed is located. You can scroll and zoom in and out on that map and click on any hill icon to find out more about that hill.

This walker hasn't logged many hills yet but if you burrow down to their "Your Wainwrights" page you see this:

Logbook: Hill Statistics

Here every Wainwright is shown, with the ones you've topped marked in red and the ones you've still to "bag" marked in blue. Again you can scroll and zoom in and out on that map and click on any hill icon to find out more about that hill.

Below the map is a list of all the hills in that category that you've climbed including the date climbed, if known. This walker has only bagged one Wainwright so far, the gentle climb up Latrigg, so that's all that's listed.

All of this is a view of your log which only you can see but other users will know if you've climbed a hill if they visit the hill page (look at the Latrigg page to see that

Other walkers registered on our site who have already walked up this hill include: TallPaul and beth.

TallPaul forum profile beth forum profile However TallPaul did write a public walk report for the forum so there is a link to that from the hill page.

More importantly if you post to our forum then your brief profile to the right of your post includes a summary of your bagging stats.

So on your left is TallPaul, the user we've described above, with their one Wainwright, and on the right is beth with 214 (a complete round) plus 17 Wainwright Outlying Fells.
