Tramper Mobility Scooter at Tamar Trails

treesurfers — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 08:42:36 +0000

Access all areas! Thanks to the introduction of a ‘Tramper’ all-terrain mobility scooter at Treesurfers in Gunnislake, the stunning woodlands of the Tamar Valley are now accessible to all.
Launched in 2009, Treesurfers offers ropes courses and zip-wire tours designed to help people get up close and personal with some of the South West’s most beautiful woodlands in the Tamar Valley, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). With the introduction of the Tramper, people with limited mobility living in and visiting the South West region can now head out and explore the 25km of Tamar Trails.
John Ladlow from Gulworthy was the first person to try out the Tramper on the Tamar Trails. John said: “I tried out this vehicle last week and was able to go on all the multi use tracks throughout the trails. It is robust enough to tackle even the steeper tracks and felt very safe. This means that people with walking problems can get to see all that the trails have to offer”.
Kate Blake from Treesurfers said: “It was our intention when launching Treesurfers to open up this dramatic wilderness to as many people as possible. We’re delighted that with the help of the Tamar Valley AONB and Living Options Devon we’ve been able to introduce this fantastic mobility scooter.”
The Tramper was part-funded by the Tamar Valley AONB – which aims to protect and enhance the landscape of this special area – and the Countryside Mobility South West scheme, run by Devon wide charity Living Options Devon (LOD), working to improve access to the countryside for people with limited mobility. The Tramper all-terrain mobility scooters and wheelchair accessible Wheelyboats are available for hire at over 20 countryside locations across Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire and Somerset. Other local sites operating mobility Trampers include The National Trust’s Saltram Estate and Mount Edgcumbe Country Park.
To hire the Tramper people need to join the Countryside Mobility South West membership scheme (£8.50 per year or £2.50 for 4 weeks) which covers users for all Tramper sites in the South West. The cost of hiring the Tramper at Treesurfers is £2.50 per hour.
