    Hoogle. Thank you
    I have a big roll of it in the cupboard that my parents gave me to stop things slipping on my trolley, lap tray, over bed table, in drawers and even to stop my bum slipping out the wheelchair as i tend to slip down a bit. (I know have a good cushion but it helped)

    I think grip is probably more important for me.. than insulation at this stage although i do like the idea of warmth..still its nearly spring.

    Thank you everyone. :-) I know have a plan to try.

    It may only be a few meters of handrail but I am quite excited about being able to use it rather than waiting for a walker or someones arm.

    If you're on a tight budget old bicycle inner tubes wrapped round would only really cost the glue/tape to fix the ends. Any friendly bike shop would give them to you for free. Would stop the cold rail issue and provide good grip.
