I've created a shared Google Maps places list with saved points for the coordinates of all the BAA car parks (rivers and pools only). It is available here:http://bit.ly/3l6TLKA
Click the link then click ‘follow list’ in Google Maps (you need to be signed in). You will now have a list of the BAA car parks, ordered nearest first, under 'saved' in your Google Maps app.
I've also created a Google 'My Map' with the same points, and generated some files that can be loaded into various sat navs and mobile apps.
The map is here:
http://bit.ly/3ypKvt8
If you click the above link while you are signed into your Google account the map will be copied to your Google ‘My Maps' (https://www.google.com/maps/d/), under ‘NOT OWNED’. It should thereafter be visible in your Google Maps mobile app by tapping 'Saved' at the bottom of the screen, then scrolling down past the lists and tapping 'Maps' at the bottom.
The POI (point of interest) files are here, with BAA icon image files:
http://bit.ly/3wrZpN0
Right click each file you need and select download.
Here are links to instructions for sat nav POI installation:
Tomtom sat navs use the .ov2 file
http://uk.support.tomtom.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/19639/~/transf...
Older model Tomtoms (use the 'BAA Fisheries.bmp' icon file alongside the .ov2 file)
http://www.poieditor.com/articles/how_to_install_pois_on_tomtom/...
Garmin sat navs use the .gpx file (put the 'BAA Fisheries.bmp' file in the same folder as the .gpx file and the poi loader will pick it up)
http://support.garmin.com/en-GB/?faq=lfiKohFF2UAo3eaO9vHYp6...
Mio sat navs use the .csv file and the BAA Fisheries.bmp icon file
http://service.mio.com/M0100/F0110_DownLoad_Faq.aspx?faqid=129886&R...
Xgody (and other sat navs running IGO Primo) use the .kml file and BAA Fisheries.bmp
http://www.gpspower.net/igo-primo-discussions/347404-kml-poi-import...
If the icon looks the wrong size or overly pixelated on your sat nav use 'BAA Fisheries (medium).bmp' or 'BAA Fisheries (large).bmp' instead, but rename it to 'BAA Fisheries.bmp'.
Below are links to instructions for how to import the POI file into smartphone sat nav apps that are free with offline maps:
Maps.me/Organic Maps (.kml file):http://mapsme.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/207895029-How-to-import...
Magic Earth (.kml file):http://www.magicearth.com/support/import-points-interest/...
CoPilot Android (.ov2 file and .bmp icon):http://support.copilotgps.com/en/support/solutions/articles/1900004...
CoPilot iPhone (.ov2 file and .bmp icon):http://support.copilotgps.com/en/support/solutions/articles/1900004...
You can also open the .kmz file in Google Earth.

Re: Online/sat nav map of car parks
A very good idea. I wonder about what the "book" calls Bushley. If you stand on the bank at Birds Meadow and look over the river the church opposite is Bushley church. The stretch that the Assoc call Bushley is a good 2-3 miles upstream close to the hamlet of Holdfast. Any member coming from the Tewkesbury direction and following the sign to Bushley will get hopelessly lost.
