    We're delighted the team from Sizergh Castle @ntla We're delighted the team from Sizergh Castle @ntlakedistrict support surface improvements between Kendal and Stainton.

Dan from Sizergh Castle tells us about how the improvements they've made to footpaths have helped people of all ages, abilities and from all walks of life to get out into the countryside to access green spaces.

We want to make the Kendal to Stainton section of the Towpath Trail accessible for all - to make this a reality we need to secure substantial public support from the community.

    Do you agree with @athenamellor and Charlotte? W Do you agree with @athenamellor and Charlotte? 

We'd love to make more improvements to the Lancaster Canal Towpath Trail - just like the ones completed at Crooklands earlier this year.

Accessible footpaths into green spaces make a huge difference to all, including parents with small children who want a car free day out in the countryside.

Introducing the utterly adorable, Doug the Pug 🐾

Sadly, Doug has arthritis and can't walk very far anymore - his lovely owners still take him out for daily walks in his buggy along the accessible Towpath Trail at Crooklands so Doug can still get out and enjoy the fresh air! 🥹

If improvements were made to the Kendal to Stainton section, Doug and many others who need wheels to get around could enjoy a new green space which is currently inaccessible.

Over the next 2 weeks, we need to prove that the lovely people of Kendal want improvements to happen to the Kendal to Stainton section of the Towpath Trail.

    We're so pleased to have the backing of local char We're so pleased to have the backing of local charity, @bendriggtrust for the Kendal to Stainton surface improvement campaign.

Joined by Bendrigg Tutor, Josh White, he spoke to us about how important it is for disabled people to access green spaces.

Bendrigg Trust is an accessible outdoor centre who also offer training and consultancy through Beyond Bendrigg for organisations looking to improve accessibility.

Located on the outskirts of Kendal, Bendrigg often use the Lancaster Canal & Towpath Trail as a venue with groups of disabled people who are looking to experience adventure in the outdoors.

Josh shares how great it would be, not only for groups from Bendrigg, but for the whole community to have accessible footpaths from the heart of Kendal out into the surrounding countryside.

If you agree with Josh and the Bendrigg team, please Like and Comment on this post and others from our campaign to show your support.

Thank you 🫶
