We've been using the same route for Pier to Pier for around 11 years and many wheelchair users and people with puschairs have completed it in the past. We are aware that the range of people’s disabilities are vast and there is no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to meeting everyone's needs. The route is mostly flat, with some hills, and any areas with steps also have a ramp which will be signposted clearly. If you have any concerns we'd be happy to discuss this further, please call us on 01206 931 468.
