We went on the climbing wall – it looks very high !
especially from up close
but, undaunted, we get kitted out with helmets and harnesses.

The staff who supervised the climbing were very good, and not only had the slings and other equipment to enable an inclusive climb, but knew how to use it.

We’re off on a Treasure Hunt !

Avon Tyrrell for wheelchair users
Something to bear in mind for groups with wheelchair users is that Avon Tyrrell is a wooded site, and some of the paths are fairly steep. It is a good idea to make sure there are enough people to make sure that slopes can be negotiated safely. Also some of the surfaced paths have tree roots causing additional bumps in the surface – nowhere is impassable, but be prepared.
Cooked Breakfast
Helen and Darren cooked a delicious cooked breakfast with sausages, bacon and scrambled eggs.
which everyone enjoyed.
Carol washing up.

Alton Towers 2012
Early in the morning of September 15th we set off, in two minibuses – the Oxford Phab Minibus and one which had been come all the way from Chichester Phab.
We had a meal in their restaurant, and they stayed in the accommodation, which was accessible, and went on several rides.
On the Sunday we returned home – tired by happy.
We had a great time – which is why there are not many pictures, but you can see some of what we did in this gallery

Oxford Phab meets Eurodisney
This post is a placeholder – I hope to expand it with more of our exciting time
Having had an exciting trip to get there, Oxford Phab members were ready to enjoy the Eurodisney experience to the full.
Some of our members wanted to go on as many thrilling rides as possible in the Resort, and others wanted to take things a little easier and meet the Disney Characters.
