+Lincolnshire Mountaineer Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 As a consideration to disabled cachers could all cache owners amend their cache as to whether it has suitable access for a wheelchair? It doesn't matter if it is self propelled or pushed. If you are not sure how, try the handicaching website for guidance or just put a sensible note on your entry. I'm sure that this subject has been raised before but it obviously didn't make much of an impact.......... Quote Link to comment
+The Hokesters Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Why not add this to Newbie Info which is already pinned? It may already be included in the caching resources page which is also pinned. I am not disabled but always rate caches I visit and put a link to Handicaching.com from my cache pages - so it has had some impact. Simon Quote Link to comment

+Bill D (wwh) Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 In theory any cache with a terrain rating of one star should be suitable for wheelchairs, as that rating is supposed only to be given to caches where a wheelchair user can reach the spot. Unfortunately, not everyone reads the guidelines (or these forums) so in practice this doesn't work. I always state on the cache page whether the cache is suitable for wheelchairs, buggies etc., as of course so do many others, but I'm afraid the message to do this will never be got across to everyone.

+Lincolnshire Mountaineer Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 Sounds good, I am in the IMPS stand. Outside the CS for a beer sounds good if they have got the plazzy glasses in! We are the ones with a wheelchair! As regards the Newbie stuff, this is a retrospective plea for all owners to amend their own caches. Quote Link to comment
