Tell me about it John. I pay a small fortune for the wife to use a gym. and them the cheeky bugger goes there before 9-30 so she pays for the bus fare as well instead of waiting so she can use her OAP bus pass.

I'm trying to kid her up that if she runs to the gym than instead of going in turns around and runs home again, she will save on the bus fares and I'll save on the gym membership fee.

It's only a theory but it seems to me that Oldies approaching or in retirement think "how can I keep fit" or get fit and thus avoid diabetes, heart probs etc, without incurring £40 a month at the gym and then stumble (or hobble?) on to the LDWA

That's good news John, about the under 40's.

So I don't have to hang my trainers up yet.

There's no chance of being over-run by under 40's in LDWA as posted on this thread, we have only a few hundred in this age range. Reports indicate average age of 64 for The Houseman, but this is probably a statistical cock-up, more likely 57 or 58. The initial founders in the 1970's are not being replaced by similar 30 somethings but more likely by retirees of more advanced years.

Life goes round and round. Being neither an under 40 or an over 60 once again I'm an inbetweeny just over 50, I hope I'm not alone in this zone ! lol

All age differences will be forgotten when they need you for the baggage on the Hundred, Ian

We could also start our own LDWA group, the 60+.group. If we all use our bus passes to get to the walks there will be plenty of room for our zimmer frames and the odd wheelchair. Instead of pub stops we could have care home stops. After all if the LDWA is over run by under 40's, us over the hill 60+ plus members will be pensioned off into them like a unwanted elderly relative.

Perhaps you all ought to go an event together. It could be a joint operation !

I have a permanent guest living on top top floor for many years now. His name is Si and he lives in the attic, but he as a habit of popping downstairs and playing with me when I'm least expecting him. :-(

This bloke Arthur Ritus gets around. He's been paying his unwelcome visits to me too, accompanied by his even more unwelcome cousin Osteo.

Thank for letting me know David. Hope you'll be back walking soon.

Ian sorry I have mislaid your phone number etc.
Due to a lot of visits from Mr Arthur Ritus and a couple of his family who's names I can not even pronounce never mind spell. I will not be on this years Woldsman or be able to get down to help you on the 100.
Yours
David H
