Example : Circular walk around Dashwood Mausoleum, West Wycombe

Here are some indications to follow so the walks can be uniform and selected to be published. The text in italic gives examples to help to understand the rules to follow to be selected.

Title:

• A capital letter at the start of the title.
• If the title is too vague, add the district or a knowledgeable point. Find a distinct title.

For example: Circular walk around the Mausoleum -> Circular walk around Dashwood Mausoleum, West Wycombe.

• If it is a multi-day walk, mention the start and end points.

For example : From West-Wycombe to Marlow.

Description
Following is the text explaining the directions so someone is able to follow the route without having to constantly look at the map.

Always start with a little sentence or information allowing the person to find the location of the start point. (If it is possible). Car Park, Bus Stop, Railway Station. Then give a line break to start the description.
(Useful website to find Grid Ref) or this website.''
''For example :
Start : Hell-Fire Caves Car Park. Postcode : HP14 3PA. OS Grid ref : SU826 947''

• The paragraphs start by (S/E) and end with (S/E) when it is a loop/circle walk. When it is a one-way walk, it Starts with (S) and Ends with (E). Other waypoints are written with numbers (1).
• Leave a space between the (S/E) and the start of your sentence. Same rule for the other waypoints.
• Indicate how to get from starting point (S/E) to the first waypoint (1).
• The plot should only include directions to take. The points of interest have to be mentioned in the "During the walk or to do/see around" box below. To do so, put alphabet letters into brackets such as (A) and write the same in the "During the walk or to do/see around" box so people can read more information about them.
• Do not use "I" or any personal.

A few typographic rules :

• 21st Century : no space between the number and 'st'
• A5654 : No space between the letter and the number
• Blablabla : or Blabla ; ou Blalblabla ! or Blabla ? : put a space between the punctuation and the word and one after the punctuation aswell.
• Bla, ou Blabla. : no space between the punctuation and the previous word.
• 50 m, 100 meters, 3 miles, 2 km : a space between the number and the unit of measure.
• 30min et 1h30 : no space
• North-East et North-North-East : Capital letters at the start of each coordinate and a dash inbetween each. If possible add a direction left or right or the 3rd path on your left, etc. So anyone can read.
• Left/right : slash in between. Try to indicate the direction such as : turn left (East)
• Oxford Street or Marlow Place or Lonely Alley : Capital letter to both
• When indicating a warning or something to be careful of, put it in bold text.
• When indicating something to see with no direct link with the directions : write in italic

• Waypoints : mention the waypoint at the end of the sentence. Put the name or text related to the start point in bold.

For example on this walk it would be :
(S/E) From Hell-Fire Caves Car Park, walk to Chorley Road and cross the road straight ahead with care. Walk straight (North-East) ignoring the paths coming from left and right. Walk up the hill following some steps until you reach a path junction with a signpost.

• Think about giving space between each waypoint of part of the text so it is easier to read. Each new paragraph has to start with a waypoint number with two colon :: before and after so it will be highlighted red when you register. The points of interest have to be mentioned in the "During the walk or to do/see around" box below. To do so, put alphabet letters into brackets such as (A) and write the same in the "During the walk or to do/see around" box so people can read more information about them. You can also add a link straight to a website to help them find out more about them.

For example :
(1) Turn left (North-West) going uphill towards Dashwood Mausoleum (A). After enjoying the view over High-Wycombe, walk West past the Mausoleum to reach St Lawrence Church (B) entrance. With your back to the church, turn right (North) past the cemetery on your right-hand side to reach a car park.

• Then, carry on explaining how to get to the other waypoints. When you reach the last waypoint, at the end of it write the end point text in bold, and do not forget to write (S/E).

Also, as we come back past waypoint (1), you can precise that you already came here.
''For example :
(2) At the car park, turn left (West) to find a gate into the woods. Follow the path going downhill as it curves right to reach back to the Mausoleum where you arrived. From there, follow your steps back to the signpost you found at waypoint (1) but this time carry straight downhill (South-East) to find some steps on your right. Go down the steps to reach a car park in front of The Hellfire Caves (C). Go down the West Wycombe Hill Road where you turn right (West) along with it. When the road bends left with West Wycombe School on your left, go straight (West) into the grassland and go diagonally in the same direction to reach back Chorley Road. Cross the road with care to get back to your car at Hell-Fire Caves Car Park. (S/E)

Waypoints :
Note related to the waypoints below. Add them by clicking on the map (on the right here) and edit their name below by clicking on "Edited". Give a name and not a direction as it will allow the walker to find himself following the description and they are already mentioned in your text. Find a name related to what you see around so people can recognise themselves (Oak tree, Pound, Town Hall, etc.). You can link a point of interest to each waypoint when you edit it so people can find more information about it.

''For example :
(A) Dashwood Mausoleum : The Dashwood Mausoleum stands on top of West Wycombe Hill next to the Church of St Lawrence. The tower of the Church, which is capped with a golden ball, rises behind the Mausoleum and together they form one of the most famous landmarks in Britain. The original 14th Century tower was raised and capped with a golden ball in 1752/3 by Sir Francis Dashwood. It is thought that he was inspired by the Customs Building in Venice which has a similar golden ball on the roof. Sir Francis visited Venice and spent six months there on his early travels during his Grand Tour. The aim was to make the Tower part of the landscape when viewed from the House, as an eyecatcher on the opposite hill-side, as well as from High Wycombe, about three miles further to the east. At the same time, Sir Francis was building a new road between West Wycombe and High Wycombe to replace the ancient one which ran along the valley. The latter was badly rutted so that carriages frequently overturned. This new road was built with chalk quarried from the Caves beneath the hill at West Wycombe. The project served a dual purpose providing a new road and relieving unemployment caused by a succession of harvest failures. (To find more about the history and for copyright click here)

(B) St Lawrence Church It may be one of the most famous of all parish churches in England, but this is not to do with its architecture or ancient origins. Rather, it owes its popularity to the eccentric Francis Dashwood, Lord le Despence and owner of nearby West Wycombe Park. (...) The most famous architectural feature of the church is the large golden ball built by Dashwood atop the tower. This ball is hollow, and has seating for 6 people within. Dashwood modelled the ball after a similar one on the custom house in Venice. It is said to have been used by members of the infamous Hell Fire Club, founded by Dashwood. (To find more about the story and copyright click here.)

(C) The Hellfire Caves : Since early times there had been an open-cast quarry on the side of the hill for mining chalk for the foundations of houses in the village and for roads; it is shown in one of Hannan's paintings of the 1740s. Sir Francis, the 2nd Baronet, set about extending this quarry in order to relieve serious local unemployment caused by three successive harvest failures in 1748, 1749 and 1750, and to provide material for a new main road between West Wycombe and High Wycombe. The men were paid one shilling a day, enough in those times to keep body and soul together. The old road ran along the valley bottom and had become so deeply rutted that carriages frequently overturned, especially during wet weather. The new road, which was on a straight line to Wycombe, was also intended to provide a three-mile vista of the church tower capped with its glittering golden ball on top of the hill.
