So age alone isn't a barrier to such pursuits...but you need to have a like minded companion...and mine isn't like minded.

well i sweat buckets, just getting out of the car and putting my kit on lol
but if anyone ever fancies a walk on a fell but needs a walking partner for the day, just ask, as long as you dont mind stopping loads to take pics and just sit and admire, i take my time, its why i take the tent, can stop whenever i feel like it, sometimes i will sit at a summit for hours doing absolutely nothing, not even thinking about stuff, just looking, cant beat it and would recommend anyone get out there whatever the weather
so who is with me
