It’s been a bit of a low time for disabled music fans. London’s Wireless music festival made it almost impossible to experience the gig without the aid of a telescope and a jet pack.
Gravel paths might seem like a sensible way to prevent a mudbath for walking patrons, but if you’re on wheels, pushing through gravel is as bad as pushing through mud or sand. It’s hard work, physically painful, and you’re quite likely to get stuck.
If wheelchair and mobility scooter users did manage to get through the gravel, they couldn’t get up the slides – sorry – ramps. There’s no difference if they don’t have grips. You might as well cover them in washing up liquid and rebrand them as slip and slides. Because there is no getting up them.
