Just looking for ideas. My wife uses a disabled scooter and living
right beside the sea she would like to make use of it. However its a
shingle beach at the top and sand at the bottom and the scooter just
stalls on the shingle bit. I was thinking of laying some sort of
matting down to go over the shingle, say two lengths which I could
keep repositioning etc. Any ideas about what could be used?
I have tried a more powerful scooter with big wheels with the same
result, I even thought about electric quad bike but perhaps not very
practicable and difficult to get except in child versions so any other
ideas appreciated.
Sounds like a job for DIY catterpillar tracks to me :-)

Had crossed my mind too, where would you get the tracks from, and how
would you keep them on?

I've seen some pretty big model tanks running on tracks..

Alternatively you could try some very large timimg belts etc. etc.
