Its no fun being a ‘mature’ leader, and that’s the challenge. I structure my preparation around the challenge. Some require a lot more, lots of gym work; judo and time on my feet carrying a heavy bag. I never want to be the weakest link in the group; always the oldest but never the weakest!

Water and lots of it, always works for me!
