The Mountain Wheelchair project is no longer active. Seeing Ada stand up again for the first time, I turned my focus away from building the wheelchair to instead helping Ada to build up her health. She is still in a lot of pain and struggles on a daily basis, but... She has returned to school and achieved many A's/A*s in her GCSEs, takes "Outdoor Recreation" as one of her subjects, and is currently attending the Duke of Edinburgh Award. To top it off, she has since walked up the highest mountains in England, Wales, and Scotland!

As for myself, my energies are now going into delivering outdoor activities for Climb Wales where I get to help other young people (as well as adults) get out and enjoy the great outdoors. Primarily based in Snowdonia, North Wales, we work as mountain guides and also deliver a number of outdoor courses, such as:

  • Rock Climbing Lessons
  • Mountaineering Lessons
  • Guided Scrambling
  • Welsh 3000 Guides
  • Gorge Walking

Finally, a big thank you to everybody who supported the project. It gave Ada (and myself) hope, something to look forward to, when times were very dark.

Ada - The Junior Adventurer
So full of life; busy, bouncy, joyful and excited by the world around her. She loves being in the outdoors, and so that would be where you would always find her – romping through forests, mountain biking through the mud, dangling from cliff faces, paddling in canoes, or high up in the mountains….

Glyn – The Boss

Glyn
I’m Ada’s step-father, a lecturer with 14 years at Coleg Llandrillo and the driving force behind the mountain wheelchair project. One particular moment that remains a vivid memory was when we were travelling down the Conwy River in our home-made canoes. As we approached the Conwy Estuary….
