General help and suggestions

For a selection of 'Health Walks'
Click the button on the left.
Below is some help with the "Health Walks" page.

Help with Printing

There is a 'Print only details' file already set up on this site so when you press the print command on your computer you should only get the header and the walks details printed.
There seems to be a problem with the way certain browsers see the code and may print out the whole page differently. It is recommended that you select the 'Print Preview' option first to see what is going to be printed before committing your computer to actually printing.
You can then select the pages that you require.

Navigating

Getting around Notts Guided Walks site is quick and easy to find just what you want with our search engine.

If you want to find a walk in a specific area or on a specific date just enter a simple detail into the box on the main (index) page and click "Go".

If your query is valid on the site it will show you a list where your query is located.

You can then click on (1 or more) of the of the findings and you should find the text you were looking for.

However!

If an update has been done by us within the past month or so the search engines (Google Yahoo and MSN) may not have found all the text on our site until they call back to see us again.

Links

The '  This Month  ' button on the Home page is a quick and useful way if you want to see what walks are available for the current month. Once at the current month you have instant access to the rest of the year so you can now view all the year's months.

The '  Select a Month  ' button does exactly the same as the '  This Month  ' button but starts you off at January, so of it's January now, both buttons will show January. Sounds obvious and it is when yo think about it.

Map Links

While looking at a possible walk of interest you will see a map reference, a SK(+number) in a block of white stone like this >  SK724671   This is a unique location on maps and also on the internet. We use these SK reference numbers to show you where the locations are on the "streetmap.co.uk" website.
Click the SK????? number and your computer should create a "TAB" (see below) and you will diverted to the website that will show you where you need to meet for that particular walk.

What is a TAB

A Tab creates another browser page that sits alongside (on top) of the original page you were viewing. Look carefully near the top of the page and you should see that when you click on a SK link that Notts Guided Walks page is still accessible. (it sits behind the map site with its own TAB) So when you have finished looking at the meeting point location you can either click the Notts Guided Walks TAB and keep also the Map open on its TAB in the background (so you can flick between the two sites or) close either site by clicking its "+" and the other site will appear on its own.

Those small pictures!

If there are small images on a page, try hovering your mouse pointer over the image. If a small magnifying glass appears instead of a normal mouse pointer you can click the actual picture to get a larger, more detailed view of that image. The mouse pointer should now be a hand with a pointing finger,(depending on the browser).
To reduce the image down to its original size just click the large image again.

How to use the Health Walks pages

As there is a lot of information within the main Health Walks page, it is all held in several collapsible panels.

These panels show as strips with Titles.

Clicking with your mouse on any of the panels' Titles will reveal information about the walks available.

Once expanded you can either close the panel by clicking the Title (or the Title bar) or just leave it open and then open another by clicking on one of the other Titles.

You can open all the panels if you want.
This will reveal lots of text and you will need to use the scroll control to view each one.

Once you navigate from the Health walks page all the panels will close automatically so don't worry about closing them before you leave.

Now is a good time for a LIFT !

When viewing an especially long page of information you will see an arrow at the bottom right of the screen. By clicking the arrow you will be taken back to the top of the page. The longer the page, the faster you rise!
