Let's go to Norway!
♿️

Back in May, we went on our first cruise to the Norwegian Fjords on the P&O Cruises Iona 🚢

We sailed to Stavanger, Olden, Hellesylt & Haugesund. When I was conducting my own accessibility research, I kept coming unstuck as there just isn't alot of information out there.

So... let's talk terrain.
Whilst Norway is hilly (an understatement there!) with stunning green and snowy mountains, it is surprisingly easier than I thought to navigate.
Stavanger's old town has cobbled streets that were easy enough to navigate for me in my manual @rgkwheelchairs_uk & Empulse R90 @sunrisemedical. I did need help on the descents of these hills but the more modern part of town is very smooth.

In Olden, we traversed up to see Briksdal glacier and waterfall. You can access these via troll cars. However, if you are like us and want a challenge and to go under your own steam, you can ascend via a compacted gravel path or take the troll road (videod). This required muscle (thank you family) and we had a laugh along the way in pouring rain.

Hellesylt is only a small port and is for the more physically able. There isn't much there to do if you're not going for a walk or hike. However, we did find a company there who were able to offer accessible rib rides down the fjords. Sadly we couldn't do this but I bet it is cool! There is a café and a couple of shops but the waterfall in the centre is the centerpiece here.

Haugesund was our last port and features wide pavements, some questionable dropped curbs so keep and eye out- where there would be one, there wasn't necessarily one on the other side! We wanted to see the Rising Tides so we went on the coastal walk. We had to get on a grassy area to start the path which was doable with assistance. The whole coastal path does require assistance if you want to do it as it is steep in places with lots of stones. We managed it but it was tough. Alternatively, taxis do take you right to the Tides and I would be lying if I said I wasn't tempted for the way back! 🤣

I will finish the rest of the review in the comments! ♿️ ⬇️

WHAT A DAY!!! Our 'active' team were the show-stoppers, but the regions' therapists & carers and ATSA were the real winners. #atsa #alivat #linds #sunrisemedical #WILAInnovations #showerbuddy #etac #icare

Why must this happen to us? We arrived 1 hr before closing and parked away from everyone as there were maybe 20 vans/cars in the lot. Honestly we weren’t mad and laughed but this could have been bad if I was alone. #wheelchairlife #musculardystrophy #handicapparking #chronicillnessawareness

Was denkt ihr? Wie hat sich meine brandneue Zughilfe Empulse F35 von @sunrisemedical hier im alten, historischen Verona geschlagen??? 🫣🤭🥳😝

Übrigens: ein perfektes Team… mein Wohnungsrollstuhl von @ottobock_switzerland und das F35 😍

☺️ Jana… raus aus der Komfortzone

Il mio primo volo in carrozzina. Perugia → Catania, vissuto dai miei occhi.

Prima di partire non sapevo bene cosa aspettarmi, così ho deciso di riprendere tutto, per chi come me si sta chiedendo come funziona davvero.

Al gate mi ha raggiunto l’assistenza, avvisata almeno 48 ore prima. Da lì sono passato sulla sedia stretta, quella che riesce a entrare nel corridoio dell’aereo.
Intanto la mia carrozzina veniva preparata per la stiva: abbiamo tolto le batterie del propulsore Empulse M90 di Sunrise Medical, che sono salite in cabina con me, insieme a schienale e braccioli, perché sul bracciolo c’è il joystick. Così chiusa resta sotto gli 81 cm richiesti per la stiva.

Si sale prima di tutti e si scende per ultimi, e all’arrivo la tua carrozzina ti aspetta all’uscita.
Un consiglio che a me è servito: per i presidi medici può essere concessa una valigia in stiva gratuita, basta chiederlo all’assistenza della compagnia.

Non è una guida ufficiale, è semplicemente la mia esperienza. Se avete domande o volete raccontarmi la vostra, vi leggo nei commenti 👇

Grazie alla Croce Bianca e agli operatori di Perugia e Catania.

Vorderrahmen abklappen, Transportmaß verkleinern. 💡

@sunrisemedical gehört zu den großen Herstellern der Rehabranche. Mit der Marke SOPUR prägt das Unternehmen seit vielen Jahren die Entwicklung manueller Rollstühle. Auch bei den neuen Modellen QS7 X und QS7 R lohnt sich ein genauer Blick auf die Details.

Beide verbinden geringes Gewicht mit einem innovativen abklappbaren Vorderrahmen. So lässt sich auch der Teil des Rollstuhls kompakter verstauen, der beim Verladen bisher oft im Weg war. Das funktioniert beim faltbaren QS7 X ebenso wie beim Starrrahmenmodell QS7 R.

Auf der @rehacare_messe haben wir uns den Klappmechanismus zeigen lassen.

Beach, mountains, or city? 🏝️ ⛰️ 🏙️

In the city, my @sunrisemedical QUICKIE Q700 M handles crowded sidewalks, shops, and restaurants. When the pavement ends, my @magicmobility Extreme X8 takes me across the sand and down the trails.

Which adventure are you picking? Comment 🏖️, ⛰️, or 🏙️ below!
