Access Trails UK

Something is changing across Gwenin; your input matters

We have some news from across the Gwenin network. Bloggyness, our reflective writing corner, is considering some optional new ways to engage, and we’d love your guidance before anything goes live.

We want to be clear: Access Trails UK itself is not changing. Your guides, accessibility resources, and travel insights remain free and fully available.

What’s Free and Staying Free

  • All content on Access Trails UK remains accessible to everyone
  • No paywalls, no ads, no subscriptions required
  • Guides, trails, and accessibility advice continue as before

Optional Ways to Engage at Bloggyness

  1. Supporting Readers Tier
    • Extra reflective essays and early drafts
    • £6/month or £60/year (completely optional)
    • Designed for readers who want a little extra
  2. “Ask for a Reflection” Micro-Payments
    • Submit a question or topic for a personalised reflective response
    • Optional payments £3–£25 depending on depth
    • Reflections only, not advice or therapy

Why We’re Considering This

  • To sustain Bloggyness independently while keeping it ad-free
  • To offer ways for readers to engage personally if they wish
  • To support the continued creation of reflective essays without affecting free content

Questions for You

We’d really like your input:

  1. Would you explore the Supporting Readers tier for reflective content?
  2. Would you use the Ask for a Reflection option?
  3. What type of reflections or essays would feel most valuable?
  4. Are there ways we could make optional tiers feel welcoming without affecting free content?
  5. Would you like exclusive behind-the-scenes drafts, prompts, or interactive exercises?
  6. Do you have any concerns about introducing optional payments at Bloggyness?
  7. Is there anything else you’d like to see across Bloggyness or Access Trails UK?

Your thoughts will help shape the future of Bloggyness in a way that respects our readers, while keeping Access Trails UK fully free and open.

Slowly considered. Carefully written. Always optional.

“In addition, later in February, we’ll be opening the Gwenin Reflective Community, a calm, welcoming space to share reflections and projects, entirely optional to join.”
