Welcome . . .
. . . to the Blue Guides discussion pages. Here you can view and participate in our Discussion Forums. Centred around our individual Blue Guides they include reader feedback, discussions and updates. The titles on which there is currently some discussion are listed on the right hand side of this page - please do add any comments you think would be helpful to other readers and to our editors and authors for the next edition.
You can also start an online journal, keep it up-to-date and read and search other travellers’ journals for your enjoyment, edification or for specific advice.
Here’s a brief description of how it works - if you haven’t kept a blog before it is probably easier than you think. Then when you’ve read that simply sign up to create your own travel journal!
Every month we will offer a free Blue Guide to the best new or updated blog that month or comment in a discussion forum.
