The house, let alone leave the country. and i think that s why only now, seven years down the line, i am tackling plane journeys because i feel ok enough to want to go to other places. it s honestly so mentally draining. after going to a new place as a blind person, when you ve never been there before, and i think that s why, when i m in an airport situation, i have to just say, oh, could you please help me? you re in what looks like a - shopping centre at the moment. so you ve got lots of people around. it feels really busy, yeah. it s really important to not feel overwhelmed in airport situations. with a guide dog, you have to rely on your partnership together to get around, and you have to admit to yourself as a blind person, yeah, i m not going to know everywhere that i am today. initially, when you re doing something like that, it s daunting. can we squeeze through, guys? yeah, sure thank you.
Onto a plane without your sense of sight? well, in the uk in 2021, guide dogs for the blind celebrated its 90th anniversary. so we thought it an excellent time to ask blind traveller lucy edwards exactly how it s done. before the age of 17, i had usable vision. i would go out and about without a guide dog, without a cane, feeling quite free. where are you travelling to today, madam? we re travelling to edinburgh. i didn t really have many concerns about where i was going, or. i didn t feel anxious at all. and what brought about my anxiety was feeling disabled by the world. i had a huge knock in confidence. i didn t want to leave the house, let alone leave the country. and i think that s why only now, seven years down the line, i am tackling plane journeys
