I shall be there, looking forward to it. I shall be bringing my new 'all terrain' rollator. Its by Veloped in Sweden. Great piece of kit but horribly expensive (£600!!). I have Idiopathic SCA but am lucky enough to still be able to walk shortish distances with a stick or sticks. However visits to NT gardens etc. were very difficult as my lightweight rollator's wheels couldn't cope with long grass, gravel and rough terrain especially kerbs. The new one is excellent and has made visits feasable once more. If anyone is interested I shall be happy to demo it and let you try have a go.I have no commercial interest in the product but hope the UK distributor will make a donation to Ataxia UK if there is any interest. Hope to see you there. John

Hi John :-)

I would loved to have had a go with your rollator but cannot

attend this year :-(

That's the brand I prefer when the time comes :-)

Best wishes :-) xBeryl
