Introduction to “Best of Britain off the beaten track” blogging tour
Welcome to my blog, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Would you like to show me around the hidden gems where you live? It could be anything - street art, an urban or rural walk, a characterful pub, an interesting museum or exhibition. I’d like to highlight just how much there is to do and see in the UK once you venture, even slightly off the beaten track. I plan to travel around the UK with locals showing me around their home turf. I’ll be writing blog posts during my trip, posting photos and podcasts.
There’s been a lot of verbal support during British Tourism week for domestic tourism from high profile figures such as MPs. I’m asking them to practise what they preach and volunteer to be my guides in their local area.
I’m also looking for sponsors for the tour.

Karen, I think we need to get together to organise a live blogging event on travel consumer issues sometime. I’m playing around with Twitter at the moment and I am starting to see improved results now that I have more followers.
There’s tons of ways we could promote it.

Sounds like a great idea, Darren. Can you have two “hosts’ on a live blog? I’ve just started with Twitter too, as a noticed travel bloggers using it at the ITB meeting.
