Walks
All our walks are checked for wheelchair and mobility
scooter accessibility.
We welcome suggestions of venues for future walks, also good
pubs or tea shops that are wheelchair friendly. Whilst the exercise
is an important part of the experience, a chance to chat and share
ideas over food and drink, is just as important.
Should you need a lift, or can offer one, please contact
Beatrice Shire on the details below.
Please tell Beatrice Shire a few days before if you plan to
come, so the pubs can plan for roughly the right number. Contact
her on 01227 766782 or email b.j.shire@kent.ac.uk.
