Data explorer
Pick a season, a destination, a metric and a chart type. Everything you choose goes into the address bar, so you can send someone a link to exactly the view you are looking at. Under every chart is the same data as a table, and a CSV of whatever is currently on screen.
What is not here, and why
There is a fourth metric this page does not offer: distribution per head of attendance. We could not find a published source for typical attendance by step or by club. If you know of a source, get in touch.
The complete dataset, as a table
This table is in the page itself rather than drawn by script, so it is here whether or not the explorer above is working.
