Just do what you can do, Grandpa. and enjoy it. you set the goals. any time in the hills good. older you get, the more you appreciate it, I reckon. Couldnt sit still when I was younger. Now sitting on the tops somewhere, as the sun goes down is th best bits of my trips. That and sitting in front of the fire at the hut drinking coffee after a good day out. deer or no deer.
being much slower now, and not able to do some trip doesnt worry me now. Used to. long as i get there, in the end. sometimes takes 2 days instead of one, now
body weight is the biggest issue (for me). I like to eat too much. except injuries and health stuff of course. which we all get eventually.
I've found Mt Biking up the road, is good for general fitness. climbing hills is better, but can do that everyday, legs wont handle it. it reduces wear and tear on the knees.
now, I actually prefer going up hill, than down. knees dont like it. was once, was the oppocite, once
keep it up. good to see old fellas doing it.![]()
