We visited Salhouse Broad with Norfolk Trails last week which was a beautiful walk through woods until reaching the Broad and its views. Beside the Broad you could purchase a coffee and there were picnic tables available to use. Quite easy to manage in a wheelchair. If you are looking for wheelchair access routes there are some on Norfolk Trails website. Here is the link to their  website. www.norfolk.gov.uk/out-and-about-in-norfolk/norfolk-trails

The Activetrails team were in Overstrand yesterday with Norfolk Trails. A beautiful village in North Norfolk and well worth a visit.

Recently the Activetrails team has been rolling routes with Norfolk Trails eventually some of these will be added to their website.

 The demo I recently received from Activetrails was really great, informative and so helpful to try before you buy so to speak. I really valued the opportunity because it is difficult to know what wheelchair suits you, especially when you need it for all terrain purposes - for me this entails field trips and environmental consultancy work. Stuart thoroughly spoke through the wheelchair, all its parts, maintenance, and how to manoeuvre in it. Next i was able to try it out, once i got familiar with the steering (as it is steered through the back trike wheel unlike a conventional wheelchair) we went over grass, some woodland and gravel car park. The trike managed so well over all the terrains and had no issues going up gradients or down. The breaking system is super sensitive but once I got the hang with it i was away going down slopes I wouldn't have managed in my basic wheelchair. I can definitely see the appeal for the Mountain Trike, the lever propel system is much easier than conventional propelling, it can cope on numerous terrains and even folds up to fit in a car!

> Stuart was very friendly with demonstrating the wheelchair, he made me feel comfortable in the chair and getting to grips with the steering and propelling. I would highly recommend Mountain Trike if you're thinking of buying an all-terrain wheelchair. And would definitely recommend a demonstration to work out if the chair is suitable to you.

We have added 3 more wheelchair accessible routes to our Events and Trails page, they are Sheringham, Mundsley and Werrymans Way. Sheringham is suitable for the everyday wheelchair user although some users may need assistance but Mundsley and Werrymans Way we would recommend Mountain Trike users only.

Activetrails welcomes Adam Blackbourn to the team.

The MT Evo is a Mountain Trike adapted for riders with limited hand function – inclusive, all-terrain, self-propelled, versatile and available in any colour and just as good looking as the Mountain Trike original

The Activetrails team has been assisting Norfolk Trails this week with some more audits in Bacton Woods, Cromer and Mundsley. Norfolk Trails are including wheelchair accessible routes on their website. We will be adding some routes to our website soon.

Cromer Pier

National England have been improving the coast to encourage people to visit the coast and walk more, Lord Gardiner was in the Great Yarmouth area to see the improvements that have been made. Two wheelchair accessible boardwalks have been constructed to give wheelchair users the chance to experience the beach and get closer to the sea, Activetrails were invited to have a look at these boardwalks.
