At 74 next birthday I'm no longer capable of enjoying the long hill days and backpacking trips of my younger years, but I'm determined not to lose connection to the 'green world' - those places that have formed the bedrock of my life and work over the past 50 years. In this little video I try to explain why those places are still important to me and how I can maintain my connection to them despite the ravages of age. It's all about adapting...

I'm based in the Scottish Highlands and I use a VW campervan to access the great outdoors, where I climb hills, ride my e-bike or gravel bike and just visit some of those places I've never been to. I've been climbing hills and mountains all over the world for 50 years and I'm a former editor of Climber Magazine and The Great Outdoors Magazine. I live with my wife Gina in the shadow of the Cairngorms.
