If you’ve been following discussions on the disability board over on the forum, you’ll have read about the demand for all-terrain wheelchairs in Ventnor.
Two of our most active members on that board, Alan and Chris have arranged for a demonstration of the all terrain wheelchairs to take place on Tuesday 4th March.
These fantastic inventions allow less able bodied people to enjoy going down on the beach without the wheels of their everyday chairs sinking deep into the sand and gravel.
They are also great shock absorbers, which means they provide a less bumpy ride over gravel and rocky areas – one website that supplies them has photos of people going up Mount Fuji in Japan on one.
If you know of anyone who might be interested in seeing the demo of wheelchair, do please let them know.
