[Blind-rollers] For anyone in the UK

[Erica Cole]

Hi Sasha

Thanks for all your fab information, I'll get onto google once I've got
through my half a million or so emails. :P.

I also have hearing difficulties but they are related more to processing
information etc rather than to my ears.
  Thanks again
Erica.

Hi Erica,

The Miniguide is a lovely little gadget.

I haven't seen the K Sonar but I'm deaf so it wouldn't work for me either.
I think the K Sonar is supposed to provide a bit more information than the
Miniguide? The Miniguide vibrates faster the closer you get to an obstacle.
It detects most obstacles directly ahead and just slightly to the sides. It
can't detect down steps or drop-offs and it won't detect single up steps
because they are not high enough.  It does great for posts, people, walls,
etc.

With a bit of imagination you can attach the Miniguide to your leg or arm or
even put it around your neck if you don't have enough hands to hold it.

I love mine.

If I was closer to you I'd offer to come and show it to you but I'm in north
Wales.  Do try to look at it if you can, it's fab!

Sasha
