"I have cerebral palsy, which affects all my limbs, and learning difficulties, so I wanted to come to Calvert Trust Exmoor so I could just be myself and try new experiences before getting older.
I am 56 years old and it was my parents who first told me about Calvert Exmoor and all the activities I could enjoy here. At the start of my stay, they dropped me off before I started my week of activities.
During my stay, I’ve done rock climbing, abseiling, canoeing, archery and horse riding. With the horse riding, it was a bit scary to get back on as I haven’t done it in quite a long time but I was okay once I was on.
I think my favourite activity that I took part in this week was the Crate Stack; I managed to reach 16 crates high and took part with a group and we were determined to get to the top!"

"Although I have enjoyed all the activities here, I have also liked chatting with other families with disabilities as I like the interaction and I don’t have this much at home, although I do work on a farm two days a week with others who have disabilities.
After having such a good time during my break, I would like to come back to Calvert Exmoor with other people or as part of a group to spread inspiration about this place and let others know how great it is.
I want to get more people involved and help to spread awareness of Calvert Exmoor as I don’t think lots of people realise that places like this are available for people like me!”
