Google Wild Swims Map

Using Google maps we've started a Wild Swimming map with some swims
from the book with photos, new swims we've discovered since with photos, and swims sent in by
readers. It's below, so click to open (or click here, it's a url that is so long we have
converted into a smaller one here http://tinyurl.com/57yewl )
View Larger Map
This
interactive 'wild
swimming' google map
allows anyone to add their favourite wild swim places, if you've got a
google account and have been allocated 'collaborator' status. Write to
map at wildswimming.co.uk to introduce yourself and start adding
places. The best entries each month win a
free book!
Uploading Instructions
You'll need a google
account (from gmail, picasa web albums, google checkout etc) and be
cleared for collaborator status by us.
Click on 'view larger map' in the bottom left hand corner
which will open up the full UK google map on wild swimming. Right click
your mouse over the map and chose 'add
placemark' to add your own favourite location. If you choose 'rich
text' (rather than plain text or html) and
click the image icon in the editing box, you can add a
photo (the photo must be online already. You can copy the link location
by right clikcing on the photo and choosing 'copy image location'. Then
paste the link address in). If you think your contribution should be
considered for a free book then email us to let us
know at 'swims at wildswimming.co.uk'
More regional informations
You'll also see that we've
created six regional sections which review the best parts of Britain
for wild swimming.
