Improving access to the countryside is a major objective of the government. One of the big frustrations is that many of the things which prevent wheelchair users using countryside paths are actually man-made, such as gates or the wooden decking across a bridge over a stream. Often it is the small things like this that can make the difference between a path being suitable for wheelchairs or not.

Euan McIwraith joins a group of wheelchair users on a new all-ability path at Craigvinean Forest near Dunkeld to find out more about the topic.
