How to create a social media plan Post Index [ show ] Not having a content strategy You will have heard me say on many occasions that without strategy there is no success, and it is so. If you do not have a defined content strategy , it is difficult for you to get that content to help you achieve your business objectives in social networks. Therefore, if you have not yet defined it (and no, it is not worth having a vague idea in mind, but it must be in writing and in detail), it is time for you to create your content strategy.



Not thinking about your potential customer In social networks you need the interactions of your potential customer or buyer person to have more visibility and to convert followers into customers. is not thinking about what you want to share, but also what your potential client wants to see. In addition, you should keep in mind that as users we go to social networks to entertain ourselves, so do not focus only on sales content (although it is also very important), but on more types of content that help you connect with your followers. and stand out as a professional in your sector.

The North Highland Way

The North Highland Way (NHW) links up with the Cape Wrath Trail (CWT) in the west which was officially opened in January 2013.

The full length of the route from Duncansby Head to Cape Wrath is 116 miles by road and 150 miles round the coast and goes through some of the most spectacular countryside in Scotland, if not in the world.

The walk can be completed in different ways, with a route by road and a route along paths and wild walking usually done in 13 stages, though it can be done in 10. Some of the current 'path' route is in fact on the road, especially around Loch Eriboll, and the organisers are working hard to ensure that access issues are addressed by working closely with the Highland Council Access Officer and land owners.

Of course you can work out a mixture of the available routes.

We have linked up with another long distance walk from Inverness to John O’Groats (www.jogt.org.uk). We are hoping to link up with the Cape Wrath Trail and the Great Glen Way (The Great North Highlands Loop Walk).


Logistics
There are good bus services and accommodation so please check www.northhighlandway.co.uk for details

It is very remote in various areas so please bear in mind that you may not have a mobile phone signal for long periods of time and distance.

The section between Thurso to Fresgoe Harbour at Reay is currently difficult to traverse and it is recommended that parties walk along the road, it is highly recommended that high-vis clothing is worn and all care and attention is paid.

On reaching the 'wild' part of the NHW it becomes a lot more rugged than the east side with quite a lot of steep geos to circumnavigate but the views are spectacular! There are four quite large hills between Armadale and Kirtomy to the navigated. It is not recommended that you traverse this section alone.

It should be noted that for any walk(s) along the NHW, as a precaution, walkers should ALWAYS leave details of your route and timings with someone.

Another difficult section is the part between Achininver and Hope. The organisers are trying to get land owners permission to place way markers to assist walkers but walkers should avoid attempting this section alone.

The section from Hope to the Cape Wrath ferry is logged as being partly on the road due to the proximity to cliff edges. From the Ferry you can either go around the coast or follow the good track to the Cape Wrath Lighthouse, where there is also a small cafe. For the trip back it is suggested that the minibus is used otherwise you might miss the last ferry.

There are also problems with access at Brough Bay, due to the Brough Bay Association sending people away from the pier area. 

There are issues around Dounreay who do not support the project, despite having security issues in the past, especially since the shooting range was put in.

If you encounter any difficulties, you can log them here and they will be given to the Access Officer as a quarterly batch.
