Tramper Treks organised to explore Ribble Valley

A SERIES of “Tramper Treks”, allowing people with limited mobility to get out and about in the countryside, has been organied by Ribble Valley Shopmobility.

Trampers are all-terrain scooters available from the local Shopmobility scheme for a small donation. It is essential to book in advance as there are a limited number of scooters available.
