Thanks Geoff, whilst this is a lovely gesture of sharing others the information will be better found and supported with GPS waypoints that can be downloaded and a map etc if you put them into Places. However i wouldn't be surprised if some of them are already there. Even if they are, there is a field in each Place for you to post a Review. It would be fabulous if you would post your personal comments as Reviews into these pages.

PS: I notice a lot of the info you've given is not so much review but "description/facts". This too can be added - simply click the edit button where prompted on the Place page. Thanks.

Maybe one of our Place Administrator volunteers could even offer to lend Geoff a hand if he needs it.
