7.5 Miles per hour
On Tuesday I took Alber out for a run of 5 miles, I was hoping to do more, but someone forgot to switch on the charger. Beware folks. My other battery charges do not have on off and on switch, the AA does, so make sure you switch it on.
The route I took was around my area and included some road work, and some pavement, with bumps. I had Pauline, one of my support team, behind me on a bike. On the bike is a Speedo she was happy to report that Alber reached 7.5 mph and 8.2 mph and kepted at that speed with no trouble.
I shall try again on Saturday, to get some more miles in, as tomorrow it is getting the Scottish camp sites booked and the KAP logos on the tee-shirts. Also tomorrow we are going to try the laptops’ internet connection out in the park. But today is driving lesson time for Clair, Pauline, Margaret and Emanuel. They are having lessons in the van, including how to secure the wheelchair down. They are also going to take it in turn to sit in the back of the van in my Alber to see what it feels like to be sitting in the van in a wheelchair. It will be quite an eye opener for them. I wish them luck.
If we have time, we shall try and put the tent up. As the sun is shinning at the moment, there is a strong possibility this will happen. I will try and get some pictures on the blog.
That’s all for now
