The Lake District has always been my home, but for a long time, it didn’t feel like mine to explore. I’ve lived in Kendal all my life and used a wheelchair since childhood, yet I didn’t properly experience the local countryside until my thirties.
That all changed when I got a more flexible power add-on for my wheelchair. Suddenly, I could reach places I’d only ever heard about. I could explore independently, on my own terms, without relying on someone to push me. For the first time, the Lakes felt wide open.
