All-Terrain Wheelchair Taster Day
A fantastic chance to try out an all-terrain wheelchair on this autumn guided walk above the village of Sabden.
All-terrain wheelchairs are specially designed electric buggies, which can be used on country tracks, uneven ground, mud and grass. They can help people who have difficulty walking, or who may be less mobile, to experience the countryside and to accompany friends and family in the great outdoors.
At around 1 ½ miles long, our route will take us on a gradual climb from St. Nicholas' Church to the edge of Churn Clough Reservoir and back - with plenty of opportunity to take in the views around famous Pendle Hill and even, on a clear day, Darwen Tower away to the south-west.
It's a great opportunity to try out an all-terrain wheelchair, get used to the controls and see what they can do. There are several guided session times to choose from and first-time all-terrain wheelchair users will receive an induction before we set off.
Accompanying family and friends are very welcome.
(There is a minimum age for use of the ATWs and any under 18s on the walk must be accompanied by an adult.)
Toilets are available in Sabden village.
Full details (exact location, what to bring etc) will be sent to all participants approximately one week before the event.
Booking needed. Please book via LCC Events
