In Access Adventure, Debbie shares the story behind Access the Dales, the charity born from her love of the countryside and her determination to make it accessible for everyone. She introduces her new book and how it came about, before screening a short film, Accessing the Dales, featuring disabled people sharing why access to nature matters so deeply. Drawing on her role as the former Disability Ambassador, Debbie highlights the challenges—and possibilities—of creating a countryside that truly welcomes all.
