Wheel Chair Off Road

On Monday 14th April I attended the official opening of the new boardwalk, on Blackpool Sands near Dartmouth. The beach owner Geoffrey Newman worked with South Devon National Landscape to get the boardwalk installed. The panels used are made in Devon, using recycled soft plastic like crisp packets etc. BBC Spotlight did a feature with me on my Tramper, Tony who was on a smaller mobility scooter and a lady who was in a manual wheelchair.

Here are a few photos from yesterdays WAGs ramble at Haytor. We started off in the rain, but by lunchtime it had started to clear. We made our way around the eastern edge of Haytor Quarry to the Granite Tramway, which we followed to Holwell Quarry. Were we stopped for lunch, on the way back we went into Haytor Quarry. When we started out, there was a Fire & Rescue team on a training exercise.

Today after lunch we did a short spur of the moment visit to the Mamhead Obelisk, with the shopping scooter for Gill. As it is such a short distance to the view point, I was able to walk. And most importantly 90% of the walk was in shade.
