We live and learn. Hopefully, it won't be long before I can use a proper parking space. We could all contribute to a book about wheeling - the do's and don'ts. Sorry I'm always looking for ways of making money for this wonderful site. Today's visit to Three Rivers forges went very well but Parks Canada's "Accessible to all" I found out means wheelchairs are OK as long as you have a very healthy assistant! I really need a second,all-terrain chair. Anyone tried the new Crossfire? Yes Sean, I thought of that just after I’d stupidly opened the rear door. We live and learn.

When it's open, you can grab the rope and pull the door within range. There’s always tying a rope to the bottom of the hatch door.

It sounds like a great premise for a horror movie from the perspective of a wheelchair user. All sorts of plot twists come to mind. Yeah, I too learnt the hard way about being the right distance away when opening the rear door of the car! I always keep a crutch in the car, and find that it comes in very handy to reach the door to shut it. You gradually get more proficient at all this stuff. It seems like a good proportion of us use a wheelchair to treat BIID. Consequently I think that any sharing of wheelchair experiences is relevant. So keep it coming, Peter. :o) I’d never heard about the do-gooder gangs. It sounds like a great premise for a horror movie from the perspective of a wheelchair user.
