Hi Robin, I topnotch pitch with a view, absolutely stunning. Well worth the effort for your overnighter 👍 The old age aches and pain slowly creeps up on you but you've just got to solider on and prolong the walking for as long as possible.... I'm certainly visiting tops that I won't be back on which is a shame but the reality is that targets need to match your capability. I still think there will always be a bump somewhere that I can be up even if its no very high and close to the car 🤣 Cheers

I will never fathom why people want to wear "adventure glasses" on overcast days or in clag.

I definitely think it's become a bit of a fashion accessory for most hikers.

Beautiful part of the world, Robin - thank-you. I guess we all get curious about what's going to go first as we get older - and about what we think we could potentially cope with. My hearing's never been that great and so, I thought it'd be that - as I didn't think it'd be as easy as catching a certain virus, to lose your senses of taste and smell; nor what might cause a loss of touch sensations. I prayed I'd not end up blind - and that if I have to go into a home then please make me ga-ga; I just never thought it would be my mobility! Yet here I am at the age of 60 - and three and a bit years into being more or less dependent on mobility scooters and wheelchairs - not to mention incontinence pads, and numbing of the extremities! Slightly less efficient than they once were, I do however retain all my senses - alas, they're no so good at getting me out in the hills - but that's why I'm so greatful to you guys, who share your walks on KZbin!

Hey Paul, sorry to hear about your mobility. One thing I’ve learned is take nothing for granted and not to live to work as life is too short. Anyway on a cheery note, I’m chuffed vids on KZbin keep you going and the Mamores are beautiful. Cracking range to hike and camp on.

Another guid vid! 👍🏼 That was quite a story about yer previous experience on the ridge! 😮 Knee replacement patter! 😅 Take a good grass-fed collagen supplement to prolong yer joints (by the time we reach 50 our collagen has halved!). There's even people who have repaired worn joints (told they need hip replacement) by supplementing collagen and avoiding inflammatory foods. Also, never too old!

Hi Robin, it really struck a chord with me when you were talking about knee problems. Im having trouble with pain at the back of my left knee currently. The doctor has give me some stretching exercises to do but so far nothing much seems to have changed. Did you have similar symptoms, and if so, how long did it take to clear up. Oh, and a great video as well incidentally!
@WalkWithWallace4 күн бұрын
Hi Frederick, sorry to hear you’re having bother with your knee. I do daily stretches which touch wood prevents the ITBS from flaring up. I sometimes get pain behind the knee cap if I descend too quickly or yomping through prolonged heather/heavy snow so I just slow my pace down and that has helped no end. If you don’t see any improvement I would suggest seeing a physio, maybe go private if the waiting list is too long. Good luck mate.
