jukel123 9,400 Posted January 28, 2024 Report Share Posted January 28, 2024 Me and my son climbed Scafell last year when I was 73. I was a bit worried whether I could a) get up and b) keep up. I reached the top and there was a married couple who were 86 and 84! The woman was frail in my book but God she was game. They recommended those Nordic style walking sticks. I've got some now and they really relieve pressure on the knees,especially descending. Getting old is a mix of the physical and psychological. 7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tatsblisters 10,950 Posted January 30, 2024 Report Share Posted January 30, 2024 The age 72 always reminds me of a notorious poacher around this way many years ago called Len (Bush) Mangham Dave Sleight wrote about him a few times in the earth dog running dog magazine. He received a prison sentence at that age after a poaching incident on the Wentworth estate were a keeper got knocked out by him . 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
