Our second to last post on here and a brief taster of our provision. Our delivery of Five Star days out and short mountain backpacking trips continues but we won't be opening up our pages anymore and we won't be sharing our content here. Facebook is toxic and we have quite rightly raised our heads above the parapet and outed Facebook for the groomers that they are, check out Facebook Reels and begin searching for # # # content and you'll find it. My AM agrees but after extensive discussion with Facebook could not, in the end, find a resolution or a way forwards. The police, the NSPCC and our governments do not want to know... During the plandemic, we shouted loudly against the mass rollout of the jabs and against the totalitarian response by most governments and, for those that follow such things, we have been proven right on every point made. But because of this, we are absolutely shadow banned with no chance of ever being seen by all but the most avid followers of the Wales Outdoors pages. We have 17,000 followers, a static number since March 2020, and yet receive almost zero engagement. Free speech is dead.

An article detailing the inability to work with associations in Wales, misleading my MP and deletion of institutions, guides and guided walk leaders from the Visit Wales website and only understood due to my FOI request.
https://walesoutdoors.substack.com/p/dawn-bowden-am-lied-to-my-mp-kevin
Remember, Visit Wales has NO countryside guides or guided walk leaders on its platform. Hundreds of businesses across Wales are effectively banned from Visit Wales promotion and these are exactly the kinds of businesses that add value to tourist stays in Wales and therefore essential for organic referrals and repeat business.
What a shameful state of affairs...

Just a video showing, that in the 10th anniversary year of the Wales Coast Path, visit Wales did not offer up ANY guided walk providers in their search results. Today the results are the same...
This is what tourism providers in Wales are up against!
Visit Wales - Not Fit For Purpose Visit Wales is delivered by the Welsh Government, not by tourism operators and professionals. Hence, in the 10th year of the Wales Coast Path, with Visit Wal...
