The more I drive it, the more I love it.
Yes, the more I drive the Alber Adventure, the more I love the ride I get.
Over the past week, the Alber Adventure and I have been getting use to each other using the local roads and my local park. The hand control has been adjusted to the position I have found to be comfortable. The back rest has been tilted back just by a notch or two, I must point out, that by altering the angle of the back rest, I have lost some of the tipping angle on the seat. Maybe the manufactures could make a comment here on that very small point...
Today, Tuesday, I took the AA into our beautiful city of Newcastle upon Tyne. That is confidence for you. We went on the metro train. The small step on to the metro can cause me problems, not with the AA; he went straight on no messing. I always turn my chair around so as to get off backwards. This I did with the AA, once again no problem. Getting in the metro lift again no problem, but the lifts are no too small. We went into shops, big and small; we went over cobbled roads that were a real test. Thought, as you would expect, the ride was bumpy, but a soft bump and not unpleasant... I found I just wanted to show off my AA where ever I went, even the bus station I went to make enquires about getting one of my team to Cornwall, the receptionist was impressed with the challenge and the AA.
I found that at the end of quite a long stint in the AA, my left drive arm did not ack or hurt, my bottom on my Spenco cushion, was just great. Yes I am a Spenco user and that is a free plug to Spenco. I felt completely safe and at home in my AA.
The more I drive this remarkable chair, the more I love it. Okay, I shall try not to go over the top. If any power wheelchair can make it from one end of the UK to the other, then the AA is the one to do it....
There might be one thing stopping me, and that is if I cannot get a full team in place, but I am still working on that one...
Well I am signing off for now and I will write some more when I have a lot of information to pass on…
Just one other thing before I sign off, if along the route you feel you can help in any way, a good night’s sleep for a team member, good nights sleeps for the whole team. Some home cooking, you know the sort of thing, then please email me… or ring me on 0191 266 5197 you can email me on mary.laver.e2e@googlemail.com You will all be getting mobile tel numbers nearer to the date so you can ring me or a team member along the route....
Bye for now...
