- Accessible Facilities All Out Trekking is an exciting new initiative delivered by Disability Sport NI and Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council which provides an inclusive opportunity for people of all abilities to get out into the heart of a beautiful woodland and access Gosford Forest Park's walking and mountain biking trails together. The project is the first of its kind in the United Kingdom and Ireland using the TerrainHopper and Quadrix all-terrain buggies that are suitable for people with a disability, long term health condition or restricted mobility to access off-road terrains. We also have joystick options of both the Quadrix & Terrainhoppers, which may prove more suitable for anyone with reduced hand/arm function. 1.5 hour guided sessions are available by contacting Disability Sport NI at 028 9046 9925.
