Getting One-Off handcycle up stone steps using sand ladders

In preparation for a mountain bike hand-cycle attempt on Cadair Idris, our local mountain, we have been working out how to negotiate the big stone steps on the upper route. Here we use Tracmat fibreglass waffle board sand ladders to ride steps at least 50 cm tall. The sound is a bit on the quiet side in places. Watch out for use of “front wheel drive“ to reduce the load on the drive wheel, and also the random appearance of dogs and chickens.
