Questions about a trip, a correction on a town page, a festival we have the wrong month for, or somewhere you think we are wrong to have missed. There are two of us and we read everything, though we cannot promise a fast answer.
Rather use your own mail client, or need to attach a photograph? Write to [email protected]. It reaches the same two people.
What we do with your message is set out on the privacy page. Who we are, and what this is all for, is on the mission.
