A ramp and a step

Picture of an entrance door with a ramp leading to it but a step to the actual door 

Managed to contact someone about disabled access prior to my arrival. Managed to get a disabled parking permit. Managed to find myself an empty disabled parking bay within 50 metres of the door. Wheeled up the ramp to the door, but yes... you may not be able to see it properly because it's very blurry for some reason, the original was much better, but once you reach the top of the ramp at the side of the building there is a STEP - right in the doorway so that you have to be able to hold a heavy commercial door while negotiating a 6-inch step. Fun. 

The door was also locked. They had given me directions to the wrong entrance, being a Saturday school, only the other side was open anyway, which was a substantial push from the parking area, though not as far as it would have been if they had correctly directed me to the nearest parking intended for that entrance.

Only one step and a heavy door! My mother, who only has one arm and walks with a cane, would totally dig this place ...

( p.s. I think you are linking to the thumbnail and not the actual image -- if that helps things not be blurry? )
