In partnership with Lancashire County Council and the Forest of Bowland, TGA Mobility will be providing all-terrain mobility scooters so the latest Gisburn Forest guided after-dark walk is accessible for all.

TGA works with the Forest of Bowland to encourage mobility scooter and powerchair users to explore this area of natural beauty. Spanning rural Lancashire and Yorkshire, the stunning woodland at this Forestry England site provides a variety of inclusive trails which can be enjoyed on scooters, such as those from TGA.

The Bowland Dark Skies event will take place on Thursday 20 February 2025 at 5.30pm-7.30pm.

TGA will provide TGA Breeze S4 and Vita S scooters which are ideal for off-road trails, meaning everyone can join in even if walking is difficult. Those interested can choose the “all-terrain wheelchair ticket” option when booking.

A TGA member will be there to support, alongside staff from the Forest of Bowland National Landscape and Forestry England, who will guide the group along the way.

Sarah Dornan, Countryside Access Officer for the Forest of Bowland National Landscape, welcomes everyone of all abilities to this event.

She said: “Following the popularity and success of previous events with TGA, we are delighted once more to offer their scooters on this accessible walk. The ramble promises to be memorable as we’ll be able to explore deep into the forest and gaze at the stars, all with a hot drink and plenty of friendly chatter.”

Fanatic festival fan Diane Perlmutter, 51 from Borehamwood with ME/CFS, is ‘rockin’ life again’ thanks to a Minimo mobility scooter from TGA.
