Wheelchair Practice at Beale Park
We took the wheelchair down to Beale Park, which has a network of tarmac paths in pleasant surroundings. I managed to scoot around the place reasonably well in the wheelchair. Cambers are a problem, so it pays to keep to the crown of the path.
I propelled myself most of the way, but Sandie took over pushing for a while, so as to get the feel of being in charge.
It was a successful experiment and helped to normalise the experience of one us being in a wheelchair. There were plenty of Mums wheeling their charges around in push chairs.
