Just wondering who could do this walk, 9 miles a day in 3 separate walks. All of it while carrying a 10kg toddler in a sling, 6 miles pushing a 4 year old in an NHS wheelchair as well which means walking hunched forward as a wheelchair made for a 4 year old is tiny.
I used to do 6 miles a day with the double buggy when children were a bit younger and I think I'm fairly fit (though chunky) but I don't think many people would be able to do that walk. I think the wheelchair would break before I did though, as it's really not designed for that kind of use.
In the interests of not drip feeding, this is about DS2's entitlement to school transport. Currently catching a bus that is often not wheelchair accessible and costs me £51 a week (from April will be £60 a week). I don't drive, school is our nearest, School transport services said I need to provide a letter from my GP to explain why I can't walk that far in those conditions before they will look at DS2's claim. He is currently at school part time, DS1 is in year 2, full time. DH works 8-6 plus overtime. No breakfast/afterschool club. We live in the back end of nowhere and can't afford to move.
Just thought I would check I'm not being pathetic before I ask the GP to write a letter saying I have notpaularadcliffe disease.
