UKWRS Monthly Report for December 2010

«

»

Tony Blews' UK Waterways Ranking Site (UKWRS) records the hits on sites registered with UKWRS and publishes a score for the number of hits in the previous seven days.

I've been recording the scores from UKWRS each day for around 14 months and we can look back to see how sites have changed over the year - and compare how they are doing compared to last year.


There are just seven sites which have been in the top 20 every day during 2010. Many others have been and gone during the year as scores fluctuate with, for example, Captain Ahab’s Watery Tales making just one appearance in the top 20 (on 23rd January).

Let's have a look at those seven sites and how they changed during the year, and compared to last year.

Jim Shead’s Waterways Information

A wealth of information covering almost anything waterways you can think of.

Jim Shead

Just Canals – Forums

A consistent performer with a peak during the snow in January when, perhaps, people were "working at home".

Just Canals

Pennine Waterways

Describing themselves as - Canals of the South Pennines - UK canal information, history, photographs, virtual cruise

Pennine Waterways

Granny Buttons

Andrew Denny's own private thoughts and ignorance about the canals and waterways. (And no-one else's, except as quoted.)

CanalPlanAC – Canal Route Planner

An interactive guide to the inland waterways of Europe, it plans journeys, calculates the length (distance, number of locks, time taken etc) of your trip and shows gazetteer information on places along the way (pubs, shops and museums).

A remarkable year on year improvement with scores mored than doubled.

Canalplan

Canal Cuttings

Information and features about canals, navigable rivers and their usage.

Joined the UKWRS site just as I started logging the data.

Canal Cuttings

Waterway Routes – DVDs and Maps of Canals and Waterways

Our own, wonderful, site showing a healthy year on year improvement.

Waterway Routes

I have scores for all sites on UKWRS since November 2009 so please let me know if you would like to see the scores for your site.

  2. Neville: Thanks for the request. I’ll include your chart in the next monthly report.

  3. Thanks for the mention of Pennine Waterways. You say “Describing themselves as…” but there are no “them”. As with Jim Shead’s site, Pennine Waterways is run by me alone!

  4. Martin: I don’t know why, but I’d always beleieved that Pennine Waterways was run by a small group of people. The scores are even more impressive now I know it is just one.
