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. 

On 12th March Active Norfolk are holding a 'Disabled Access Day'. The venue is at the Sportspark, UEA, Norwich and Activetrails will be present with the Mountain Trike. This will be an excellent opportunity to view the Trike. Local sports clubs will be promoting boccia, tennis, table tennis and wheelchair basketball. More information available here. Look forward to seeing you there.

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.

Also thanks to everybody who visited our stall and viewed, tried the Mountain Trike. If anyone has any questions about the Trike or would like a demonstration please contact us on 07918 520212

Activetrails Open Day will be held on the 24th July at Whitlingham Country Park 'Picnic in the Park' family day out. Whilst exploring the countryside with excellent views come and visit the Activetrails team. This will be an ideal chance to see the 'Mountain Trike' and 'Mountain Trike Push' first hand. Speak to the team about the advantages the Mountain Trike has over the everyday wheelchair, maybe book a demonstration at a later date. We look forward to seeing you there.

On 12th June Activetrails members Ally Clarke, Stuart Smith, Karl Read and Lesley Smith traveled to Nantwich to meet Mountain Trike to discuss future plans for Activetrails. This gave us the opportunity to meet face to face to let them know what we have been doing and what we are trying to achieve as a group. We look forward to working together in the future.
