Hi Alastair,
I’ve just been listening to some of your ‘do it now’ advice to would be adventurers. All brilliant but I think I should put in a word for we oldies.
Yes, late teens/early twenties are wonderful years for adventures but saving that £1000 and pulling yourself away from the temptations of friends and family can be hard.
I wouldn’t want those who don’t make it in their youth to think their chances of adventure have been lost. Retirement brings them back into the picture. There are less ties and more money!
As a teenager in the 60s I dreamed of going to Kathmandu (not California) with a flower in my hair. Just dreams. But at 62 flew out to Nepal; took the amazing flight to Lukla (survived) and trekked up to Namche Bazaar, across to Thame and back to Kathmandu.
At 70, my black Labrador and I drove from Greece to the north west of England (without a sat nav) and at 72, last summer, I sailed from the Bay of Biscay; up the west coast of France and across the Western Approaches to Falmouth. Perhaps not quite in the same class as world girdling on a bike but following the same ‘just do it’ principles.
I have bought quite a lot of your books, so perhaps they might have something to do with it. I hope that as the years catch up with you, and unfortunately long after I am gone, you will be writing books encouraging pensioners to have great and small adventures!
Rita
PS. Isn’t it strange that my big adventures this year are plucking up courage to go to the shops and the hairdresser’s!
Hi Rita,
YES! This is fantastic – thanks for writing!
