So Glastonbury fans really are getting older! Gran proves she’s no stick in the mud!

If you think music festivals should remain the preserve of the young, look away now.

Undeterred by the mud, rain…and throngs of youngsters, this grey-haired Glastonbury fan pushed what appeared to be a walking frame through the crowds yesterday.

She and thousands more had descended upon the 900-acre site at Worthy Farm, in Somerset, which was churned up by a second morning of torrential rain.

Many were left queuing to buy wellies, umbrellas and waterproof ponchos, but as you might expect from the older generation, this lady looked well kitted out.

Product Reviews    

  • The assembly was easy and quick…

    The first ride with the Veloped was fantastic. We were able to walk with my mother again on paths in the forest, which was where we had last walked together years ago. This was simply not possible with the standard walker. There were also no problems…

  • Richard…

    Thank you for sending the back cushion for my new Veloped. It fits perfectly between the brake levers and provides much-needed comfort when sitting on the lower back.

    At this early stage, I am thrilled with how my Veloped makes walking more access…

  • The people a Veloped have been patient…

    The people a Veloped have been patient, kind and thorough throughout the process of deciding which one to buy and then starting to use it. I cannot rate them highly enough! And the machine is excellent. No adverse comments at all; just what I wanted …

  • When I, as my daughter, discovered the Veloped, I immediately knew the s…

    After our 86-year-old mother's walking radius decreased due to unsteady gait, and she could only move around outside the home with an escort, she considered – albeit very ambivalently – a mobility aid. A "regular" walker was out of the question for h…

  • Veloped Sport 14er M…

    I do enjoy my Trionic Veloped. However, I think the seat depth could be improved by making the rear verticals slightly further back (which would probably involve major costs!). Also, I do not find the front wheel combination very helpful and have con…

  • A great product.…

    I am 93 and was always a lively walker until a problem with my legs occurred a few years ago. That resulted in my walking with a stick - not very satisfactory. Rollators are not so common in the UK, and when my Swedish relative suggested one, I r…

  • I bought the Walker 11 years ago…

    Dear Sir or Madam, they asked for a review of the Trionic Walker, but I only ordered 2 inner tubes. I bought the walker 11 years ago and am still enthusiastic about it today. It can cope with almost any terrain, runs easily thanks to the large pneuma…

  • Really helps me to get about outdoors.…

    The only drawback is it is difficult for me to lock the seat in position. My husband has to do it for me. Without him, I would have to always have it set up and not folded.…

  • Great…

    Keeps the walker clean and tidy. My husband refuses to use it so at least I know it is out of the way and not gathering too much dust. Probably use it myself one day…
