It feels like the "Eating out with food Intolerances" and "Walking with Wheelchairs" posts should be merged. Food and walking tend to go hand in hand and it is hard to separate the two. Today I was thinking of putting the two together but the post was rather long... therefore I would like to tell you about another lovely walk we took with Heni while we were in the Lakes (you never know ...you may need this information if you visit there one day!) AND then in a future post do a review of "Greens" in Grasmere where we stopped for refueling at the half way point!
We have done this walk plenty of times before but have only ever been able to go a short distance with Heni in the buggy/wheelchair as the paths and stiles prevented us from going very far... HOWEVER we were very pleased this year to see that a heap of work had been done on the trail (presumably by by the National Trust?) making it more accessible. The terrain was more chair friendly than before and the stiles had been removed and gates wide enough for wheelchairs had replaced them. This allowed us to get all the way from the car park which is at the west end of Rydal water (where it says TOILETS on the map) all the way round the south of Grasmere lake (...indicated by the black dotted line but going in the opposite direction to the arrows).. to Grasmere village and then back in a circular loop.
