Darren Hillock's Get Around Guide

You have seen me mention Darren Hillock and his Get Around Guide several times. It just keeps getting better!

Here's the latest from Get Around Guide:

An exclusive Q&A on disabled travel in the UK
When I read and posted about The Mersey Neurological Trust exhibition on travel for people with disabilities, I was fascinated enough with the idea that I wanted to know more. How it went, will they do it again, what insights might they have on travel by the disabled? I was fortunate to connect with Danny Start, administration and marketing officer for The Mersey Neurological Trust. We had a little Q and A, which I share here:
