🎤 I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY. And on 09th Sep at Naidex Farnborough, I get to say it with a microphone. 😏

I'm taking to the stage to talk about something I genuinely believe in with every fibre of my being:

Adventure is for EVERYONE.

Not just the people with expensive all-terrain chairs. Not just the ones tackling national trails. Not just the extreme end of the spectrum.

Adventure is getting out of the house for the first time in weeks. It's navigating a high street. It's a country park on a Tuesday afternoon. It's a 215mile coast to coast crossing in 8days.

ALL of it counts. ALL of it matters.

I'll be talking about:

👀 What the latest all-terrain powerchairs can actually do and where the sport of adaptive off-roading is heading

🌲 Our All-terrain Experience Circuit and the trial to place all-terrain chairs at outdoor venues so more people can actually use them

🔋 And… I'll be making a HUGE announcement about the next 50at50 challenge 👀

Drop a 👋 below if you're coming to Farnborough, I want to meet as many of you as possible. Let's talk adventure, access, and what we can do together to change things.
