Are you going away this year? Let me know where??
-
I love that wales is recognising the disability community as also keen travelers.
-
Gem I used beach wheelchair in Cornwall last summer and it was great I got my feet wet for first time in a long time 👨🏻🦽❤️
-
The last time I went in the sea using my sticks. My twin boys walked next to me very slowly. We was at Witby and a lady called us Zombies. She was right. We looked like sea zomibes. I could not stop laughhting after that. Loved your video.

Thank you so much for sharing videos like this. It gives me hope, i know I'm sounding dramatic 🙈 but I'm a bery new wheelchair (it arrived yesterday!) user (ambulatory) and feel so scared of knowing what is and isn't accessible. I love watching your videos and seeing your live your best life. Ive spent the past year mostly in bed, so to see you getting out and about is so encouraging. I think my world is about to open up ❤
-
A few things to put on my list
-
Yay, finally a new video! \o/ Thank you for taking us with you! And I still hate you for holding these sandwiches right into the cam... over and over and over again! 😅🤪 And also DB has just the best of all coins for sure! And how cool is it they made the zip line accessible!
-
Looks like you guys had a wonderful time! Seeing all the wonderful accessibility in Wales makes me want to move there. If only it was so welcoming here in Texas (U.S.)
-
What a fun trip and the food and all the restaurants that you show looks so good! Thanks for sharing!
-
How strange, my family has just booked a trip to south Whales for my 18th birthday in June and I have just started watching Gavin and Stacy! Hope you had a good trip!
-
Glad you had a great visit - we've loads more that you could explore if you'd like to come back to Southern Wales again.
-
Hi Gemma, loved this video! I live about 10 minutes from the Royal mint. Just wanted to recommend some more places in South Wales to visit maybe next time, 1. McArthur Glen Designer outlet(or as mine and many others call it The Pines) in Bridgend. (Big changing places toilet) 2. Cardiff museum (has brilliant access and huge changing places toilet) 3. Cardiff Bay Barrage hope you enjoyed your time in South Wales ❤️
-
I'm actually amazed as I live near some of these and didn't know they were accessible. I'm going to give them a go . Looks like you all had a really good time. The beach in Barry is lovely please come back in the summer it won't fail to please.
-
All the food looks so good! Zip lining down a mountain woah! Glad you had a fun trip!
-
Haven't been to Wales in a while but great to see.
-
Absolutely FABULOUS!!
-
Looks like a great trip. I need to start planning and get to that zip wire!!
-
Amazing accessibility in south wales 🏴 ❤❤❤ ❤❤ ❤❤❤❤ 15:10

Lovely Gem! Great film and editing. Loved the classical music really emotional and dynamic. I loved the music so much I just bought the album on iTunes! ❤️ This all looked like fun. Loved Daisy’s chocolate coin. Beach wheelchair was disappointing for me as I’d need to be pushed and would feel confined. As a powerchair user, I’d need a powered beach chair to have complete freedom. I’ve not been on a beach in over 20 years so totally dreaming of this one day.. 🥰xx

Thank you for taking us with you, Gem 👍🏻🙏. I just got my wheelchair 1 week ago and already learned so much from you 🤗💖.
