A Harrogate charity that supports people with disabilities is aiming to help them access the great outdoors this month.
Throughout National Walking Month, Open Country is providing ‘break free’ packs to offer inspiration on great places to walk, wheel, stroll, or cycle in the local area.
The free packs have been specially developed with wheelchair users in mind, but they could also support anyone who might struggle with exercise, limited mobility - or even families with pushchairs.
Each trail features clear, colour maps for each location, with all the information needed to help plan a trip out, including access to facilities and points of interest.
Packs are available to download at www.opencountry.org.uk or the charity is happy to deliver or post packs in bulk to organisations, community centres, supported living venues etc.
To request packs, email community@opencountry.org or call 01423 507227

Open Country
Open Country exists to help people with a disability to access and enjoy the countryside.
The charity offers daily activities for disabled people, including walks, conservation projects, allotment clubs, tandems clubs and adventure clubs.
In addition to the break free packs, a range of audio walks are available on the Open Country website or on their YouTube channel, so that people can enjoy fully descriptive walks from the comfort of their own home.
The charity also provides advice for landowners and organisations on accessibility issues through its Countryside Advice Service.
