The Activetrails team will be at Whitlingham Park on 23rd July for the 'Picnic at the Park' day. If you're interested in seeing the Mountain Trike, having a try or booking a demonstration this will be an excellent opportunity.

Paraplegic TV Presenter Mik Scarlet visited the Norfolk Broads earlier in the year to make a short video about wheelchair access on the broads. Whitlingham Park featured in the video where Mik went for a boat trip on the lake in the wheelchair accessible raft called the Ra. Also he met the Activetrails team and had a try in the Mountain Trike. You can have a look at the video here.

N.C.C. will be holding a launch at Burgh Castle for the recently constructed wheelchair accessible boardwalk. Activetrails have been invited to this. The event will commence on the 14th June with a welcome at the Village Hall followed by a ribbon cutting by celebrated local wildlife writer Mark Cocker.

Recently we were in Sheringham completing our latest audit for the N.C.C. We are assisting them in making more routes accessible for the disabled.

All Terrain Wheelchairs Ltd visited Activetrails recently to demonstrate 3 off road power chairs Extreme 8, Frontier V6 and Frontier V4. We are looking at ways to encourage more disabled into the countryside and power chairs will increase the number of people we can help. You can get more information on these chairs on there website.

Activetrails will be closed for business until 9th January 2017 for Christmas and New Year. 

​Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our friends and associates from the Activetrails team!

​ Dear Activetrails Team

We are finally home from swimming, fed and girls in bed exhausted and happy after a great day out and I have a moment to sit down and drop you a quick line.

I can't begin to thank you and Al and your families enough for giving up your time today to demonstrate and hire the Mountain Trike to us, well, to Annabelle. We had the best walk we have had for a very, very long time. No pain and no tears, just happy kids out in the fresh air! After a slightly nervous start Annabelle really got the hang of it for a beginner and was determined to make it work for her and she did. Quite how she managed an hour's swimming training on top of this I don't know but she was still smiling when she went to bed!

We all really appreciate your time and the trouble you went to to talk us through the trike, how to use it and it's maintenance. It was great to finally see and experience it first hand. I have no doubt that this will be a purchase for the future, hopefully not too distant, and will bring a great deal of pleasure to Annabelle and the whole family. She is already wondering if she might be able to use it to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme at school. Despite everything she sets her sights high and I have to admire her for that!

We hope the work you undertake with ActiveTrails continues to grow and succeed in opening up the countryside for all. You are a truly inspirational team.

Thank you again, from us all. We hope we will see you again soon.

Congratulations from the Activetrails team on receiving your Mountain Trike. It was a pleasure in helping you make the decision. Hope this will allow you to enjoy the countryside with more independence and freedom. Follow Sophies story here.

On Tuesday 27th September (World Tourism Day) the Broads Authority launched their 'Broads access video.' The new video has been launched as part of an effort to make the Broads more accessible to people with disabilities. The video was presented by journalist and musician Mikcorrect Scarlet and highlights the Broads 125 miles of waterways and how many locations, activities are accessible to people with impairments.
