A person being guided has the right to choose how. We appreciate the value of traditional techniques, but using the Tag can be added to that, or used alongside other methods if preferred. @mrfafleming is walking with a guide while his #GuideDog gets a free run. @guidedogsscot
Scotland is famous for many inventions. Challenging traditions isn't about rejecting what works; it's about refining, improving, to align with modern busy living. Choice is positive, change is bold.
This guidance aid is a compliment to traditional guiding. #ScottishInvention
There's a range of situations that the Ramble Tag has been preferred. Tate gallery, airports, train stations, running competitions, parties, hiking clubs, beaches. A tool that can enhance traditional sighted guiding, not replace.
@guidedogsscot would love to work with you! : )
The Ramble Tag is a symbol of independent living, choice and control. It challenges what we're told is the only way to be guided, but surely there is only what's right for you?
This video shows the lightweight harness on the arm of guides/ assistants.
Actually just realised... i don't think he is Weegie :) sorry Jonathan! Just seen this and thought, what a load of rubbish. :p just cos you were showing in Glasgow, and Scottish!

There's a cheaeky big tactile stone dragon on Irvine beach. He seemed very impressed by the new and improved Ramble Tag, and suggested it would be a great tool to use on the beach with a guide. (I'm just passing on his words of wisdom.)

I'll second that. Tools for independence can be fun looking, and expressive. Everyone has days they want to shine a bit brighter. I have a range of Ramble Tags to cover both fun days and under the radar days.

My caneโs not white - itโs bright pink ๐
It does the same job, just with a bit more personality.
Why should independence look boring? #Accessibility#Blind#Pink
Autumn leaves are pretty,
But when wet, can get quite squishy.
Do you prefer assisted walking,
While rambling and talking?
This helpful little tool
Is truly very cool,
Secure yet independent,
It's advantages are splendent...

They're back! A brand new batch of the popular Orange Original Ramble Tags. Brighter and better than ever. I still believe they will be as well known as the #whitecane or #guidedog
I couldn't stop! As long as these are still on demand and helping folk...
I've not been on this platform for a while. Nice new obvious alt text box.
Today was beautiful weather here in Scotland. A perfect strolling day. Feeling a bit of heat which is a rare treat! The season of pleasant strolls is coming!

Great example of the small Ramble Tag in use. @barton_kell holds the handle to run with her guide runner, who is wearing the tag/tether on her wrist. https://t.co/Ep0cH3YXcD
Tom is now officially retired. I'm going to keep supplying the Ramble Tag on my own, delighted that I found a way to do this. (While stock lasts is the current situation.)
I've got a few fun plans that I'll share soon, including online treasure hunts for a FREE Ramble Tag.
6 years ago, Tom and I said if we could help one other person it would be worth it.
We've hopefully helped a lot more than that, but unfortunately our journey is coming to end mid Sept.
We thank everyone for their enthusiasm and support throughout.
