I have, and on your 'patch', as it happens. A friend of mine (now deceased) 
used to keep his boat in the Stinkhole (excuse me, Maple Lodge Basin), and 
while his wife had difficulty walking due to a leg ulcer, he used a 
wheelchair to transport her to and fro along the towpath from Coppermill 
Lock to the mooring.

It's not a common occurrence, though.
