Cripple Cruise

Join a one-eyed cripple on some of the scoots taken with NuLegz, my pet mobility scooter.

Since falling to serious illness 20 years ago, my ability to walk (along with many other things) has deteriorated over time.  With the left leg suddenly giving up what little it had left, the decision was made to obtain a mobility scooter to get me around without the pain and anxiety.

But not any old mobility scooter.  This was NuLegz.  An adventurous fun loving ambitious scooter.  Tiny in stature but big in personality.  He didn't want a life of trudging through shopping centres, doing 300m scoots to get pensions or being drowned in the scent of urine and Werther's Originals.  He wanted to live.

So instead of paltry errands, he set out to take me to places no other scooter would.  He wanted to climb hills, descend dales, explore woods and see the world.  And I let him.

So here they are.  Some of the scoots around Basildon and further afield in mildly edited form.
