Access for all - with a little help from the Disabled Ramblers
We have a plan to significantly improve access for mobility-challenged visitors in Langdale by installing two all-terrain hydro-powered electric Trampers for people to borrow from Sticklebarn. We discussed this idea with the Disabled Ramblers group and they kindly agreed to come along for a ramble in Langdale and undertake an access audit for us.
