 Well i am 70 years old and my wife is 68,i have had heart bypass triple 8years ago and my wife has two hip replacements,we both find it a little difficulte to walk,but love our camping.

we came back to camping 3 years ago and brought a Karsten 300 with all the extras and found it a struggle to put up(iam refering to the canopys and extention) so we advertised on here (free advert ) and sold it within hours.

We then brought a Sunncamp prism 8 and although large we have no trouble putting it up,we have also just purchused a Colman Columbus 4 from World of Camping and this will be for 2 or 3 day camping.

I have last Friday ordered a Tipi 6 recycled polyester tent with footprint and a free carpet from www.greenoutdoor.co.uk ,as i have always wanted a tipi and we had a loan of a Outwell indian lake and was going to buy it but found it too cramprd and restricting.

So you see that our ages are no problem as we love camping

You have my respect sir. May you be an inspiration to us all.

You are as young as you feel, and I would love to feel a 20 year old again, but OH would kill me

Camping - emotional resilience in action, a triumph of hope over adversity and antidote to virtual reality.
