About the solution
The Ramble Tag is a small simple lightweight harness designed to be worn around the upper arm, or wrist of a guide, with a visually impaired person. It wraps around the arm, and has a firm but comfortable handle for the person wanting security and guidance.
Movements become more flowing, with less need to keep in sync, there is less strain on shoulders and back for both guide and person being guided, and it offers more independence to those who like their space. Importantly, people feel less dependant on others while using it, giving them more control and an extra choice.
Although designed from necessity to ease our dog-walking, we were astonished at the possibilities the Tag offered for the visually impaired, whether travelling/commuting, walking/running, climbing or rambling. It also eliminates potential gender and cultural guide issues, which the likes of airports assistance teams are very enthusiastic about. The Ramble Tag has been shown to be a real and positive choice for inclusion for those with sight impairment.
