Sunshine, Test Drives and Trail Adventures: Our Off-Road Mobility Event at Castle Drogo
What a day! On Wednesday, we hosted our Off-Road Mobility Come-and-Try Event at the stunning Castle Drogo in Devon – and the sun couldn’t have shone brighter for it.
We were thrilled to welcome around 18 individuals with a wide range of mobility and access needs, all keen to explore the possibilities of all-terrain mobility. Whether pre-booked or walk-in, everyone had the chance to test drive a variety of off-road equipment in a supportive, real-world setting — and experience terrain many hadn’t tackled in years.

Our visitors had the chance to try out the equipment on a purpose-built grassy test track in the picnic area, with those up for a challenge venturing into the woods along the driveway — tackling leaves, branches, and uneven terrain with ease!
🌳 The Perfect Setting
Castle Drogo, with its mix of open space and forest trails, provided an incredible backdrop for the day. We’re hugely grateful to the National Trust team for allowing us to turn their overflow car park and picnic area into an off-road mobility zone.
💬 What Visitors Told Us
Many of the attendees told us they hadn’t accessed woodland paths or uneven terrain since becoming wheelchair users — and being able to do so again brought real joy and possibility.
Feedback included:
“It was great to try everything in one place and get clear, honest advice.”
“I hadn’t been into the woods since becoming a wheelchair user – I can’t describe how it felt to just go.”
And that, right there, is why we do this.
🚀 What’s Next?
If you couldn’t make it – don’t worry! We're happy to arrange a personal demonstration at a location that matters to you. Whether it’s the challenge of Dartmoor, a coastal trail, or simply the beach you’ve missed, we’ll help you find the right equipment to reclaim those experiences.
We’re already planning more events like this in the future – so let us know where you’d like to see us next!
