Tramper hire and trail at Grizedale Forest

We are delighted that we now have an all-terrain mobility scooter (Tramper) available to hire.

We currently have two waymarked routes approved for the Tramper to use:

Ridding Wood trail

Crossing the road from the Visitor Centre, the trail offers a great introduction to the forest and sculptures. It passes through beautiful oak woodland as well as some unusual and ornate trees. Will you find the Gruffalo hiding in the Deep Dark Wood?

Wood Moss Tarn route

This is a stunning 5 mile trail exploring some of the quieter areas of the western side of the forest around Wood Moss tarn. We will have a shorter, gentler route available later in the year as soon as some trail improvement works are completed.

How to book

You need to be a member of Outdoor Mobility to hire the Tramper. If you’re not an existing member, you can easily sign up online at www.outdoormobility.org. An annual membership costs £15 or a taster membership that lasts for two weeks costs £5. Outdoor Mobility also offer single trip hire for £3.

All new members will be provided with an induction  on how to use the Tramper. Existing users will be offered a refresher of how to operate the Tramper. All information required will be passed over to the user through the booking process.

Trampers must be booked online through the Outdoor Mobility website before your visit at www.outdoormobility.org.

The designated disabled car parking spaces are in our main visitor centre car park. They are approximately 150 metres from the Visitor Centre building where you’ll collect the Tramper. This is mostly flat but has a gentle incline on a mix of tarmac and gravel surface.  If you feel you are not able to access using this route please contact us before your visit and we will provide alternative access and parking options to suit your circumstances.

The usual arrival time for our Tramper booking is 11am.  If you’d like to arrange a different arrival time, please contact us before your visit and we’ll do our best to arrange a different time.

Tramper users must be accompanied by another person (capable of seeking assistance).
