	- SandyHill Bay - Cannock Chase - Fairbourne - The Wrekin Hill - Ae Valley -

	Sandyhills Bay Dumfries and Galloway Directions: Leave Dumfries on the A710 signed Dalbeattie. After Caulkerbush, continue for about 1 mile and look for a left turn by a phone box signed Beach car park. The lane ends at the car park which you can enter but you will require a token to exit, this is available from the shop & cafe on site.	View Larger Map

	Access: Start off in two wheel drive and go to the shop to purchase a car park token which costs £1. On your way back take note of the sandy path going off to the left just before the car park. That’s the path you will need to take to the beach. Return to the car and change to 4 wheel drive. Access to the beach is then down the path indicated. Do Not attempt the short cut which has a step about 400 mm high. The sand down to the water is soft to start with but firms up as you descend towards the water. - Enjoy your day.

	Cannock Chase Staffordshire Directions: Take the A34 north from Cannock. After leaving the town, continue through Huntington until you get to the second roundabout. Take the third exit along Broadhurst Road and continue about 1.5 miles to the cross roads. Turn left into Camp Road and pass the German War Cemetery on the right and continue to the sign for a right turn down a track marked Katyn Memorial. Go slowly down the track for 100 meters to the car park	View Larger Map
	Access: It is advisable to obtain a map before venturing onto the Chase as there is 14 square miles to explore. You will need four wheel drive immediately here as the tracks are mainly loose shale (Round pebbles) the going is easy on the Fieldmaster but there is a lot of hills all within the scope of the chair. When you return to the car park, carry on past to the main road and on the other side is a little cafe that does snack meals. Well worth the visit.

	Fairbourne Gwynedd, Wales Directions: Take the A493 from Dolgellau signed Fairbourne. Turn right off the main road signed Fairbourne and follow the road over the level crossings there is a carp park on your right immediately over the crossings. On your left is the Fairbourne Steam Railway. The car park has a public toilet. Continue along the road until the railway turns right and take the small road on the left to a car park attached to the beach.	View Larger Map

	Access: After the level crossing,follow the road for about half a mile. Turn right and follow the railway. This will take you about 1.5 miles to a dead end and a car park. Park where you can (even the beach) and go into 4x4 mode. A track leads on to the station at the end of the peninsula which has a cafe. This is accessible even at high tide.

	The Wrekin Hill Shropshire Leave the M54 at Junction 7 and turn left on the B5061, up the hill to the car park in the wych between the hills. A large gate allows access to the hill and a wide track takes you to the top. This is not feasible in anything but a 4x4 wheelchair as it is very steep and loose. Even vehicle access require a 4x4 to access the hill. The path winds and climbs relentlessly up to the television mast passing through the Devils gate and on through Heavens gate. Half way up is a cafe which is only open weekends and bank holidays. You need to pick your way carefully as there are deep rain gullies running down the path and you have to cross over occasionally to make the best of the gradient. This is not an easy walk for your family so take your time and think of the walkers.	View Larger Map
	The last section past the TV mast is very rough up to the old hill fort and we decided not to risk it. The Fieldmaster 224 carried Roy, who is 20 stones in weight , without complaint. Roy said that with his heart condition he would not have made 10 meters up the hill.
