A Holiday On Wheels To Center Parcs

A Holiday On Wheels To Center Parcs 


Hello to my lovely readers, hope you are well.


I have recently been to Center Parcs in Eleveden Forest and I just thought I'd do a blog on my week away. 

Me and my boyfriend Victor, decided to book another week in Center Parcs this year, we loved it so much last year so we decided to go again.

We went on bank holiday, in which we didn't realise this until a few weeks before, it was slightly busy but still lovely, it quietened down after the long weekend. 

The week was amazing, we were more aware of what went well and what didn't from the first time around,  so it was easier to plan our week and book our activities. We made sure we spread our activities out so we had something to do each day and this worked as it gave us time to get to all of our activities as well as time to relax.

We did lots of exciting activities however trying to think of things to book is quite challenging as we were quite limited as to what we could do. Our favourite is bowling as its really accessible and a lot of fun. We also did table tennis which was really funny because we both have a disability, trying to control a ball and keep hitting it isn't the easiest game to play but we had fun. We just spent the whole half an hour in fits of laughter as we found it so amusing that we thought booking table tennis was a clever idea! Overall, the activities we did were amazing. I found a section on the website that gives you ideas of the best wheelchair accessible activities so this can be helpful when your looking to book an accessible break with Center Parcs.  

We went to a few amazing restaurants Hucks, The Pancake House and Cafè Rouge, we also got a pizza delivery to the lodge. All of the restaurants are lovely and so accessible. There is also a lovely sports cafè too which is walk-ins is great too.    

We stayed in an amazing accessible lodge, it was very spacious and I was able to get around really easy in my wheelchair. We enjoyed the extra space, there were two wet rooms with a toilet with handrails so after a few days I was able to take myself to the bathroom. The kitchen was easy to navigate around in my wheelchair as the worktops were lower.  Overall it was a really lovely lodge. 

Overall, it was a brilliant week, so much to do and great disabled facilities i.e toilets, ramps, wide doors etc.  I  thoroughly recommend it whether you are in a wheelchair or not, its great for everyone. I could go again and again and never get bored of it. The only thing I would say is keeping the itinerary fulled is a good idea, I recommend booking one thing a day as this gives you a focus for the day and it just nice to have something to do each day.
I hope you enjoyed my mini review of my trip on wheels to Center Parcs!

 Thanks for reading

Slowly approaching the next stage of life

Hey guys Thought this blog may help others that are starting to think about coming to the end of school, sixth form, college, uni etc and have worries or fears about starting a chapter in life. I am in my last year at sixth form and starting to think about what is best for me in terms of needs, skills, learning to work with a wider range of people etc. I don't know about others but I worry about going somewhere new, meeting new people and adapting to their way of working. It scares the hell out of me but how I look at it is I am there to widen my own knowledge and skills to better myself for the future. Has anyone got to the school gates or waiting for a interview for college or uni etc and thought I don't want to be here, lets face it we all have been in similar situations. I remember sitting in a meeting to start sixth form and felt physically sick and was thinking will I be ok to do the course? will I get along with the people... 2 years on sixth form feels like my secon...

Get Over Yourself...We're Only Disabled! Part 25

Get Over Yourself ... We're Only Disabled ! Hey my lovely readers. I hope you are well.  Acknowledgements   Well, what can I say? I can't believe I have written my first book!  It took me a whole year to write this, with support from staff at National Star College and my family.  I thought writing a book would be really difficult and I would have just given up over time but despite amending how many chapters I wanted in this book, I achieved what I wanted to get out of writing a book. I must admit that I haven't worked on “Get Over Yourself, We’re Only Disabled” religiously.  However, it has been refreshing to have a goal to work towards.  Something that can be my thing, my aim, and my success.  I feel that I have achieved that. I want to say a massive thank you to my family for helping me over the years to get to this point where I’ve been able to write this book and have the knowledge and understanding of my life and mine...

Up Movement, The Adult Cerebral Palsy Movement Hi my lovely readers, hope you are well. I know after I finished posting my book, I wasn't sure on what to post on my blog. So I decided to have a little break to think about what I could post about but I really wanted to come back with a special idea for my blogs, I wanted to talk about what is interesting me lately. I attend a Zoom meeting each week with a lovely organisation called UP movement, a group set up by an amazing lady called Emma and then another brilliant lady called Mirriam. Emma has Cerebral Palsy herself, so that in its self is really lovely as it gives others a sense of achievement and encouragement, just to learn about her journey with Cerebral Palsy. Emma is incredible, she has Cerebral Palsy, however she is a wife and a mother, she is the founder of Up Movement and a strong advocate and a voice for people with Cerebral Palsy.    The people who attend are adults with Cerebral Palsy, so this ...
