''You'd think so would'nt you''
you would'nt believe some of the things we have to take into acount when building new structures (now) in the middle of woodlands/countryside for people with disabilities when it's just took us all our time to get there in a 4 by 4.
We can not just assume the disabled wont go there. In our experience some do attempt to go to areas where even the able-bodied would not go, as long as we don't put barriers in there way that make it even harder for them.
David Blunket used to regular walk a large wood on the north side Sheffield and seamed to find something wrong with them every time, trouble was he was always right (how's that then?), ''that doesn't mean I like him though''
Like I said Derek ''I think you was miss-informed'' I'll check it out. :yo:
