Clifftop wanders on a Tramper!
Beautiful national trust property with clifftop walks.
The main attraction was their Tramper, a very sturdy off road mobility scooter. You have to book it in advance and be a member of countryside mobility but they'll let you do the countryside mobility paperwork on the day. Very easy.
When I arrived I was given an induction by staff on how to use the Tramper (v straightforward) and the different routes. There were about three different walks you could do with the tramper and I picked the headland walk. We were given a map showing the way, including a couple of detours to avoid kissing gates and things. The way was also clearly marked with scooter symbol way markers.
The route up to the headland was pretty stony, uphill and a bit rough. I don't think my normal little Apex Rapid boot scooter could have coped with it, but other sturdy or off road mobility devices probably could. The Tramper had absolutely no trouble with the terrain.
We had a beautiful treck up to the headland and back. The views were absolutely incredible and it felt amazing to go somewhere so wild and remote. 10/10!!
We were also approached by a National Trust photographer who asked if he could take some candid pictures of us to show off the Tramper. A couple of them are now on the website - my claim to fame!
