Wheelchair walking Shorne Country Park

We have just got back from a day out to Shorne Country Park.
I had a great time wandering the paths and tracks around the park with my wife Heather and our good friend Phil. I am permanently in a wheelchair ♿as I suffer from Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis and can no longer stand or walk. The park at Shorne is one of the Kent County Council KCC country parks . I have a parking permit, because I have a Blue Badge  it  enables me to by a years parking for all of the parks, our registration is automatically logged upon entry, Marvelous what modern technology can do. Well we got there and as per usual the first stop was the🚻 toilets. We had a few minutes wait as the disabled facility doubles as a mother and baby change place and we got there just as a baby and his family took him in for a nappy change. The main building is a futuristic wooden creation housing a great cafe and offices and meeting rooms etc, Phil got the teas and we sat outside on the paved area sunning ourselves and doing that old favourite 'people watching'  !! Being a Friday afternoon 12:30 the place was busy with mums and grandparents with toddlers and a few like ourselves retired and out for an afternoon adventure.
The walk started after our tea break. We headed off in search of a view point called the Knoll but our sense of direction was as we headed in the complete wrong direction.We passed the fishing lakes and I stopped and spoke to one chap who reconed he had caught fifty fish 🎣(we have all heard about the one that got away) I saw several other people fishing but not one of them had caught as many. Afer the fishing lake we took a right instead of a left and happily headed in the wrong direction. We had a pleasant three hours walk round trying to rite our sense of direction but we failed to find the Knoll. Wheelchair access and surfaces were great if at times a little bumpy. Some routes in wet weather would be un passable We headed back to the cafe as it stops cooking an hour  before it closes. We got to the cafe just in time (minutes to spare) and had fantastic bacon and brie baguettes 😋and a drink. I managed to sleep😴 in the wheelchair♿ in both ↑↓directions
