Walking Month is Here!

May is the month for all things related to walking, whether that be going for a wander around a local park, to the shops (instead of using your car) or just as a bit of exercise. While some may have restricted mobility or struggle to comfortably walk independently, you can still use national walking month to get out and about. Take your rollator, walking stick, mobility scooter or other piece of mobility equipment and get outdoors, taking in the fresh air and scenic views.

Go to a Nature Reserve

Nature reserves are a great place to get lost, offering tranquil views as well as the opportunity to admire our beautiful wildlife. They usually have dedicated paths for you to follow around the dense greenery, but these can still be hard for those with limited movement to navigate without the correct mobility aid. Using a class 3 mobility scooter, you can easily navigate the bumpy terrain while still remaining comfortable in your captain style seat.

Go Around a Local Park

Local parks are great for wandering around, offering flat and even surfaces that can be easily navigated, no matter how small the wheels on your mobility scooter or wheelchair are. They often have plenty to do as well, such as feeding the ducks, picnic areas, and play areas for the little ones, making it a great day out for you and the family.
