Answers

Michael Stempczk

Website is clear andeasy to use.

Index is fine and it is clear where yoy are on the site.

The site is fit for purpose with the proviso that the links on the map page are corrected.

No clicking on some of the towns on the guided walks map the links don't work eg Rischmond , Leyburn

All the text is easy to read and very clear.

1     Yes, as a novice to computers I found it easy to use.

2     I found the homepage etc easy to use, although sometimes I had to click a few times before it would connect.

3     Yes

4     There were 4 links which detailed the walks that did not work.  All the others worked fine.

5     I were glasses and found no problems reading the text.  It was very clear.


Margaret Beecroft

Yes, the website is easy to use and the links were easy to understand.

The homepage, etc were set out very clearly and the adjacent links could be accessed with no problem.

The site contained all the information you would require if you were planning a walking holiday or days out walking in the Dales

I had difficulty accessing some of the links which described the walks in detail.  These were namely Leyburn, Ingleton, Richmond, Clapham, Skipton.

I had no problems reading this website.  The background was  light so the text could be read clearly


David Fisher

Q1 Yes

Q2 Yes

Q3 It was informative and it was clearly marked to show us where to go on the site.

Q4 The links took a while to work and go to the relevant page.

Q5 No. We both needed our glasses to read the text.

Geoff White 

 All the answers are yes 

Conclusion

What I've noticed from peoples feedback is the site works apart from one or two links that don't work so I need to get them altered and find links that do work.
