Mobility scooter access.

I wanted to get a mobility scooter which was sturdy and okay to ride on the paths in the woods behind our house. We like to take the dogs for walks round there, its peaceful and you often meet other dog walkers who pass the time of day, and in May there is the added bonus of the bluebells which grow wild in the woods, beautiful. Our dogs love it, Barney has a great time playing ball or stick, there are plenty of smells to make the walk interesting and a good time is had by all. The only problem is with the little bridges which span the stream, they are just flat, wooden bridges but the end of the bridge, where you come on and off the path, is causing a bit of a problem with my scooter. At one time the paths were built up to the same level as the bridges but over the years the path is wearing a little and so the gap between bridge and path has altered and there is a couple of inches which you have to bump down. No problem on foot, a couple of inches to step down is neither here nor there, but on a mobility scooter it is a different problem. The bottom of the scooter grates on the wood of the bridge and so it has proved easier for me to get off the scooter, then Graham pushes it carefully off the bridge on to the path before I get back on again. To push the scooter off the bridge down the two inches to the path is not too bad, but going up two inches to get the scooter on to the bridge proves more tricky, especially as it is a big, sturdily built scooter which is heavy, and it is difficult to push over the ridge. It is easily fixed, the path just needs to be built up very slightly to match the bridge level and I doubt it would take long. It is slightly spoiling my enjoyment of our walks because I am thinking about reaching the bridge all the time, and having the problem of getting on and off.
