One of the highlights from this trip has to be going in a Gondola! Venice was such a beautiful and historic city. Naturally the Italian food was delicious. However to adapt a gondola for a 130kg wheelchair is unthinkable. As you’ll see once again – everything is possible. You can watch all the action in… Continue Reading

At the end of April, Kasia and I left the United Kingdom on a big adventure. Due to my disability the vehicle we took had a ramp for access and hand controls for me to drive. The car was packed with my disability equipment too (hoist and shower chair). We sailed from Plymouth to Santander… Continue Reading
