Here at Quingo Scooters we’ve been sharing places with you that would be perfect for a day out, especially places you’d never think to visit or you didn’t know existed! It’s great finding brand new accessible places to visit on your mobility scooter.
This week it’s another boat themed day out, as we explore the largest natural lake in England. Windermere is in the heart of the Lake District, and offers some absolutely stunning views of Cumbria and the surrounding areas.
Accessibility and the freedom to get around are important to the Quingo team and our customers.

Jack Paton, 65, of Montgomery Way’s Botcherby often uses his scooter to visit family in nearby Harraby where he says that some of the streets have kerbs up to five inches high. He claims that the lack of dropped kerbs make certain areas difficult for him to get around.
