I like the names of the rides - the calendar tells you where the start is anyway. What really bugs me is the list of Perms on the AUK website. It seems it is down to the individual organiser to decide whether or not to give you any clue as to where the route might start from.
With the perms, it would be even more useful to have a vague route outline, as the majority can be started from various points.
We discussed options for this on YACF once, but there were obstacles. I mentioned the issue to Peter Coates, who was sympathetic - I suggest people keep badgering him
. What we need is a method that doesn't require the organiser to do any work if they don't want to, IMHO, e.g. a wiki-type thing.
As things stand, I shall NOT be entering any perms, apart from those based on rides I know, and those that come recommended with some details. It's just too much trouble finding out about them. DIYs are now the easier option ...
