Recent Improvements to capture of walk details

I made a recent change on our website in response to something one of our members asked for and improved the Walk Details section and automatic transfer to Ramblers Walks Manager.

• The improvements were related to the ability to capture and calculate walk distance and ascent. Following that change, walk distance is now automatically expressed in miles and km and you can enter the distance in either units and it will calculate the other. Just enter the number for miles or enter m or k after the distance

• Also if you enter the ascent in feet or metres it will calculate the other and display it on the walk view under the map - for example on this circular walk it looks like this:
  

• Just enter the Ascent value to calculate feet or enter f or m after the value to specify feet or metres automatically.

• On a Linear walk the start/end postcode and grid references are displayed. For example on this Linear walk it looks like this:

  

• All of these details can be entered on the walk details tab within our website:

  

Hope that makes sense! If you have any questions about the above, or other improvements, please don't hesitate to contact me.
