If you live in the UK and all this talk of conquering Kilimajaro on the excellent One-Off Titanium all terrain handcycle has got you eager to try one out yourself then have no fear. Finally there’s an opportunity to rent one for the weekend. If you’re in Scotland or are planning a trip to the Cairngorms National Park (which you really should be) then thanks to Sport Scotland a One-Off is available to be booked at the Glenmore Lodge (also a great wheelchair accessible base for your off road wheelchair adventures).

From June 2008 onwards, the bike can be pre-booked / hired by phoning Glenmore Lodge between 8:30am and 5pm on 01479 861256 or through the Wheel High website. With a ridiculously low cost of £10 per half day, £15 for a full day and £20 for a whole mud-filled weekend, there’s never been a better excuse to visit the Cairngorms.

This is great news for UK based wheelchair users and disabled adventurers in the making who might not otherwise get a chance to try, or even see, one of these amazing handbikes. It also opens up one of the UKs most spectacular national parks for exploration and extends the accessibility of the park for paraplegics and quadriplegics. Great to see that Sport Scotland is shelling out for things like this.

The Glenmore Lodge is a great place for all adventure sports in Scotland with courses and facilities covering pretty much everything and an ideal place to grab lessons for kayaking in particular.
