Wheelchair Flyers

Wheelchair Flyers

Flying from a wheelchair is not impossible, finding places we can get access to is the biggest problem we all share. Wherever you fly, whatever you fly, just spare a moment’s thought for the disabled flyer. Whenever you access a new, or popular, site stop and think carefully, “Could I get here if I was in a wheelchair?”

:thinking: Are there any steep slopes?
:thinking: Is the ground nice and firm?
:thinking: Will it still be firm after last night’s storm?
:thinking: Is there anything I needed to climb over?
:thinking: Did I have to cross any dodgy bridge?
:thinking: Was there somewhere to park nearby?
:thinking: Did I need to climb over anything?
:thinking: Are they any accessible toilets (or wheelchair friendly bushes)?

Please share your thoughts - we like a challenge, but we suffer so many disappointments we really do appreciate your help directing us to our next adventure.

Thank you all!

First suggestion - head to Welton Waters.
There’s a small gravel parking area just short of the boat club. Ideal for heading up over the ponds, nice open field and only thing to watch for is a few dog walkers/ramblers.

Thanks to freedoddy for his great suggestion.
