Tramper Trekking in the Yarrow Valley

Even the wind and pouring rain didn’t put off five brave souls who were keen to test the off road trampers at Yarrow Valley Country Park. The trampers were stationed at the park courtesy of Lancashire County Council as part of Mersey Basin Week to give people with low mobility a chance to explore parts of the park they can’t normally reach.

The blustery and rainy conditions definitely gave people the chance to test the trampers to the limits as they drove through puddles and up grassy hills, which were rather muddy.

One lady was overwhelmed with the trampers. She visits the park almost everyday with her husband to walk the dog, except she normally stays in the car, as she can’t walk far.

We received positive feedback from the event, which was brilliant as it is hoped that in the future a tramper trail will be developed at the park as part of a wider access project.
