Outdoors is for everyone

New waterproofs: Extra checks needed -

Room for layers underneath- if you move slower than most you generate less heat.

Room for wearable tech - medical pumps and monitors.

Easy zips - no complex baffles and double zips.

Lightweight but good quality (thankfully JB found a sale) as backpacks already have a lot of stuff in.

Most important: Name and phone number tag. We have lost SO many waterproofs.

Do you have any other points you look for?

There are still a few places left for this lovely walk. It is a completely new area for Access the Dales and we are looking forward to joining the ranger from Wrye Estuary Country Park for this guided walk.

Its not just the climbing......its the bits in between.

- a beautiful place
- reflecting on what you've achieved
- no pressure to chat
- people with the same interests

When communication is difficult for you (maybe learning disability, autism or anxiety) these things really help your well-being.

With Able2Adventure Glenmore Lodge with the paraclimb camp.
Its not just the accessible adventure that makes this an amazing experience, its the supporting each other, the checking that everyone is involved and stretching their skills set and the encouragement when it seems tough.
In essence, its what good lives look like: facing challenges, being good company and looking out for each other.

So often we are shown a piece of disability equipment an told it will bring freedom but there is more than just the equipment to consider. Using a trike takes a lot of planning.
