The Disabled Ramblers exists to help mobility-challenged people get back out into the countryside.
We ramble in all weathers and over a variety of terrain. Our rambles are graded according to difficulty. A few are suitable for shopping buggies and power chairs whilst most need large scooters capable of travelling over rough ground.
Able-bodied helpers support members by opening gates, seeing us across roads and other jobs.
We spend a lot of time researching routes and working with the authorities to improve access. Many of our rambles are accompanied by staff from the area. This adds to our enjoyment of the ramble through their local knowledge and the extra security they can often provide.
About 30 rambles are run each year across England and Wales – mostly from March to October.

Let’s Go Rambling and Rambling on Wheels
Loan Scooters – only on our Programmed Rambles
We own some large off-road mobility scooters (Trampers) which may be available on loan during one of our programmed rambles. (They are not available for general hire.) They each have stick holders and a bag on the back to carry your lunch and spare coat etc. They are only available on one of our Nationally organised rambles. We cannot guarantee that a scooter will be available on all rambles. The user is responsible for reimbursing us for any damage they cause to our Loan Scooter – or damage they cause to other scooters or property. A loan scooter must be booked in advance; you cannot just turn up at a ramble and get one. As the cost of maintaining and transporting them is rather high we charge £15 per ramble as a contribution towards this cost.
Accessible Toilet
Some rambles are supported by an accessible toilet which is available before, during and after the ramble.
