    Welcome to the community @Andywingate :) 

    Ooh, I hope you enjoy Download! Do you know who's in the lineup?

    I don't have any personal recommendations on where to hire a mobility scooter from. Have you had a look online?

    It'd also be worth looking at Download's accessibility information pages, as they outline what support and provision is available.

    Hi there 

    My bf goes to download every year with disabled friends . He said there isn't anywhere near to hire scooters the venue is quite isolated not near z ything 

    He also said there are no tarmac paths lots of grass and mud to get from camping area into atenas 

    There are charging stations for scooters buf these are quite a way from the camp so someone would have to take it to charge if you are unable to walk 

    I know it's not what you wanted to know but hopefully things you can bear in mind b4 you go

    Hi been several times and the disabled camping is well set up for charging etc I was looking for a horizon scooter as many of the the other girls/guys I have met in disabled camping have used and hired and had delivered to site just after a company that will hire and deliver. But thanks for your concern

    Could you ask any of the people you've met there which company they used @andywingate? :)
