A place record is a collection of claims with different evidence
A listing can bring together information from different sources and dates. A mapped water point, an operator notice and a traveller’s experience answer different questions. Learn to interpret those differences as we expand and review the catalogue.
What each kind of information means
Source-listed information tells you what a directory records; it does not mean we have visited the place. A traveller report describes an experience with a date and context, rather than the site’s current rule.
A confirmation needs to identify what was checked, with whom and for which date. When sources disagree, the disagreement matters. Missing information stays unknown; it does not become permission, availability or a confirmed facility.
Look at the date of the detail you need
An updated opening page does not by itself confirm drinking water, dog admission or entrance height. Look for the source and date of the detail that affects your journey. If it is unconfirmed, ask the operator before setting out.
An example of reading different evidence
Imagine a listing that mentions water, an older report of a closed tap and an operator page confirming only opening dates. Current water availability remains unconfirmed. This is an invented example, rather than a visit or a real place.
Check the conditions before arrival
We are building an ongoing catalogue review process. An automatic update does not mean every place has been checked today. Confirm important decisions with the operator or responsible authority and follow current signs.
If you find an error, identify the place, detail, date and a source that lets us check it.
