With so many apparent inaccuracies in the magazine over several months, some blatantly obvious and others less so, what 'facts' can we actually believe and rely on? One could make an expensive mistake if the magazine was taken as gospel.
The whole publication is becoming a work of fiction. Thankfully the contents have become so not worth reading that perhaps less of us will actually rely on the 'facts'. I suppose it makes a good game on a wet day, 'Find the Errors and Inaccuracies'. Come back Enid Blyton.

Magazine has never been regional, even back in 'en Route' days.
There is certainly a regional element. There are 5 variations (areas) with different events diarys (page 67 / 68) and spotlight on site (pages 71 / 72) ours in NWM is Wirral Country Park.
All 5 variations are available on the App.
There may be other regional differences, these are just the ones I have noticed.
edit posted at same time JVB
incidentally ours is a very wide area North Wales and the Midlands

Posted on 30/07/2019 10:17 by moulesySeems a bit self defeating really if they are promoting sites in the area where you live anyway. I'd rather read about sites in other areas of the country if I have to read it at all!

Posted on 30/07/2019 09:50 by Goldie146Our Magazine has "N" next to the date on the top left.
Maybe they mean we should only tour in the North

The wrongly captioned photograph reminded me of another mistaken caption a few years back. An article by Lee …. (his surname escapes me !!) had a photo of Chesil Beach from the top of the hill at Portland captioned as West Bay (about 15-20 miles further west. I wrote to the Editor (being a Dorset boy - by birth) to point out the error. I didn't receive even an acknowledgement.
I didn't bother to point out a repeat of this error in a more recent article by the same author.
