Matt Wardman Posted December 21, 2023 Report Share Posted December 21, 2023 Good morning everyone. I'm not a boat owner, though past experience as been the usual joining a friend's boat, holiday hire etc. The interest triggering this post is in towpaths, and comparing them to how they were 100 years ago through photographs of the same place. It's a mini project I am doing around accessibility for wheelchair users and others. The comments from CRT on where they want to spend their funding, which I see is being salami-sliced over time just as happened to local authorities, arte quite eye-opening. But having spent an evening or two checking out on the forum, I recognize a potential rabbit hole when I see one. I'm looking forward to posting.

Sue68 Posted December 21, 2023 Report Share Posted December 21, 2023 If a towpath is accessible it's not safe for wheelchair users. There are too many speeders abusing the towpaths, you are supposed to leap out of the way of cyclists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manxmike Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 To get back to the topic proposed by the Artificial entity (Dalek?) have you ever tried pushing a wheelchair over ground that's not entirely flat and hard surfaced? I have - around the Auschwitz Concentration Camp in Poland. Sadly I had no gloves and by the end of it my hands were literaly red raw and bleeding. I would imagine unless it was one of the later model Daleks with the anti gravity drive, the OP Dalek would have immense problems as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
