# Recent Improvements to capture of walk details

I made a recent change on [our website](https://www.ekwg.co.uk/walks) in response to something one of our members asked for and improved the Walk Details section and automatic transfer to [Ramblers Walks Manager](https://walks-manager.ramblers.org.uk/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](https://www.ekwg.co.uk/walks/64cac6c3f309d50014cd1eb6) 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](https://www.ekwg.co.uk/walks/6494da33d0b401001468f2e2) it looks like this:

*   All of these details can be entered on the walk details tab within [our website](https://www.ekwg.co.uk/walks):

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