[Last time I was there I was assessing it for access by a relative with a bad heart & new hip and I reckoned if she could walk around shopping in town she could manage this with maybe a few pauses for breath. she ain't been yet]

Sorry but it doesn't always work like that! shopping in town is not the same as negotiating a rocky uneven car park or a grass slope!

Is this site (Lordenshaws) at Simonside?
