TGA works with the Forest of Bowland to encourage mobility scooter and powerchair users to explore this area of natural beauty. Spanning rural Lancashire and Yorkshire, this stunning woodland provides many inclusive trails which can be enjoyed on scooters such as those from TGA. At the Bowland Dark Skies event, there will be TGA Breeze S4 and Vita S scooters which are ideal for off road trails; meaning everyone can join in even if walking is difficult. A TGA member will be there to support alongside Forest Rangers who will guide the group along the way.
Sarah Dornan, Countryside Access Officer, Forest of Bowland National Landscape, welcomes everyone of all abilities to this event as she says: “Following the popularity and success of previous events with TGA, we are delighted once more to offer their scooters on this accessible walk. The ramble promises to be memorable as we’ll be able to explore deep into the forest and gaze at the stars, all with a hot drink and plenty of friendly chatter.”
