Wales Outdoors Weekly Roundup 9/2/25
Wales Outdoors delivered one event this week, but that doesn’t mean that we were feet up. Far from it. Both Andy and Kate were pulling late ones, flat out with meetings and tour development, dealing with enquiries and having a giant push to onboard re-sellers and OTAs as well as beginning to onboard suppliers to add to the Wales specific offerings available at the Wales Outdoors website.
Andy kicked of the week with a Monday morning Teams meeting with tourist guides from across Wales. It was a WOTGA catch up and update. WOTGA is Andy’s professional body and is known as Wales Best Guides. You can see Andy’s profile on the WOTGA site here - https://www.walesbestguides.com/guides/andrew-lamb/

So the orientation bit was water off a duck’s back but the tall tales and unusual facts were unknown to them. We were even treated to a private telling of the tale regarding the female that haunts one of the boxes in the New Theatre. Andy noticed a staff member was unoccupied and asked her if she had any New Theatre ghost stories, and she politely obliged…
