Cannot believe how incredibly intrepid Disabled Rambler's are, but as always, all routes carefully 'surveyed' beforehand by this brilliant organisation! This demanding terrain well illustrates the awesome capabilities of The Tramper. Fantastic video, can't wait to have a go at this route myself one day as part of an organised ramble. GO DR! GO JC!
Lovely video! I'm getting my outdoor scooter (Minicrosser X2 4 wheel) next month and have a few questions: how dangerous (for tire punctures) are those rocks on the road and what are the chances of the scooter falling over sideways on uneven terrain?
Hi Ninette, I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I hope you have a lot of fun on your Minicrosser. Rocks haven't been a problem but the real danger is from Blackthorn Hedges which tend to be cut in the Autumn and left on the ground for scooter tyres to collect. As a precaution, we add OKO off-road tyre sealant to the innertubes. Amazon link below. We also carry a tyre pump. This can often get one to home. Electric ones are available from Amazon, Halfords etc. For long trips, we also carry a puncture repair kit, spare innertubes and tyre leavers. Alternatively, solid tyres are available. I once had to deal with a flat tyre 4 miles up a mountain. The innertube had twelve holes in it which the OKO sealant had filled - until this final puncture. Falling off on a side camber does happen to the unwary. If one had upper-body strength and control, one should sit on the uphill edge of the seat and lean into the hill - depending on the steepness. The Minicrosser is lower to the ground than the Tramper, which most of us use, so you might have less of a problem than on a Tramper. It does also depend on your height as this can raise the centre of gravity and weight which does the same. Can I suggest asking to join our Facebook Group where you can ask these and any other questions to our keen technical members: facebook.com/groups/DisabledRamblers www.amazon.co.uk/Off-Road-Tyre-Sealant-Puncture/dp/B006THGZZ2/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2KVJHQN9LHOLL&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.PWFhyVDZYa7c-x64GAra9a-WxTvDuE5dRjkJt9V5RGa7Kgw9OpyPe34brUiAx8O_XgD6RfjEiL1SEvui3tCKC6ST-M8ea5dYdVNcQTHQHIN7V4m-EARCATW7KySA6Q9JH7AzBGA5hDNSnib61Y4U-ENigKbkB7G8sUT7j13LAho9qOrMsPPayjyWwv0xlUPt5e8IvQeI4knpFE_1JAe4vmsYftrYIaBBaoHn5hrVCV8.gIg3G9RBVwZGvK6zmAJ1YCeJmXRDttsl0Cyp1Il26Lw&dib_tag=se&keywords=oko&qid=1713783703&sprefix=oko%2Caps%2C78&sr=8-4
@@jrcuthbertson Thank you for your answers, Jon! I plan to add a lockable box to my scooter to carry a repair kit, tyre pump, etc. Will join the group! For me this is so exciting after staying indoors for half a year. Kindest regards from Antwerp, Ninette
see one of your group has a rifle bag,did you manage to have a shoot too,looks like great fun bet the dog enjoying himself too,do they trailer there scooters to the meet
I've forgotten what is kept in the bag but it is not a rifle. To get their scooters to the ramble some use a trailer but most have them inside their car or van. Some come in a motorhome with a garage.
@@ballkeeper6662 Berlingo yes but it needs to be the WAV (wheelchair accessible vehicle) version which has a lowered floor and ramp. If you want more info, please ask to join our Facebook Group where this is a common question: facebook.com/groups/DisabledRamblers

I have a TGA BREEZE 4 and it will take me anywhere i love it, just wish there was a group near me that i could go out with.
