Hi. I have tried the Ultra Cane in a busy town area. My opinion is that these canes are good for quieter surroundings as the town area is littered with obstacles and passing public and the cane is going to vibrate consistently. ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Scholes" <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Peter,Just my thoughts here: Interesting. I definately know what you mean, it is easier to move along with, but I just can't get over the fact that its just not portable enough for a mobility aid for me. Plus, I have learnt a variety of Cain techniques, so I don't feel the need for a vibrating warning system. I should try one again though, really give one a go.-----Original Message----- Sent by Peter Beasley on Sunday, February 01, 2009 at 07:59 PMI bought one of these secondhand over 3 years ago. And, although I used ita few times, last Monday someone who was looking up in the clouds - or behind him, got himself intangled with my cane and broke off one of the joints. I was ok because I wasn't far from where I was going and someonehelped me there, and I managed to get a lift back home when we had finished. The only other usable cane I had was the Ultracane so I had to use it and Iam very glad that I did. I find that I can walk much faster because it slides over the groud much easier because it is top heavy plus the addedbonus of the 2 vibrating buttons under the thumb to warn you of approachingobstacles. Iwish I hadstarted using it seriously 3 years ago. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq __________ NOD32 3816 (20090131) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com -- Check out my radio and TeamTalk server! http://www.jls-radio.com -- James Scholes E-mail: james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MSN/Windows Live Messenger: jamesscholes@xxxxxxx AIM: JamesScholes000 Skype: james.scholes Website: http://www.jamesscholes.com Blog: http://www.jamesscholes.com/blog Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/jamesscholes Find me on Facebook!
