Tours

On the left hand menu there is a button called List Tours. If this is accessed you will come to a page called Tandem Club Tours List

These tours will be displayed in order of quality where the better ones (5) will be displayed at the top, descending downwards to lower quality ones

Select the Tours

The top box allows you to Select the tours.

Group - Select all in every case

Modified Period - Allows you to find the latest ones that have either been added or updated

Order - Stick to !quality,!id

Quality - From 0-5, where 5 are the better ones

Postcode - This search function allows to look for a start within a certain area. Enter the first part e.g BA3 or the whole part e.g BA3 1AA

Personal - This is for Admins, please leave unticked

Map Ref (lat,long) - Enter the GPS map reference like: 51.5256, -2.4704. If this is left blank (do this in most cases) it will show the centre of the UK

Green Buttons

Once you have defined what you are searching for, there are 3 green buttons

Search - This searches for the tours to which you have already set the criteria in Select the Tours

Goto Rides List - This allows you to acees al the rides on the system, effectively taking you away from this page

Goto Places List - This takes you to the Tandem Club Places of Interest page, again taking you away from this page

Tours themselves

As already written these are in order of quality. To re-affirm, quality is not the quality of the tour, rather the quality of the information/pictures detailed in the tour

To access a tour, simply click on the hyperlink in blue.

For this example we shall use https://tandem-club.org.uk/rides?cmd=tourView&id=9
