This is a nice one, and wish (again) that we had something like this this side.

Mikey leads way in blind maze test
Publication date 27/02/09
CAPTION: Mikey Hughes tackles the maze and, below, blindfolded Seonaid Hunter and Hannah Kinney are 
helped by Helen Dearman
BIG BROTHER finalist Mikey Hughes was in Glasgow to show the public just how difficult living with 
blindness can be.
The reality TV star from Kilwinning - who went blind at 23 - invited people to try to navigate their 
way through a special maze in George Square while blindfolded.
The event, organised by RNIB Scotland, aimed to raise awareness of the condition and to draw attention to the fact blind people do not qualify for the higher rate of Disability Living 
Allowance.
Even with rain pouring down, lots of people lined up to get lost trying to make it through the 
30ft-long course.
