I am no longer able to do some of the things that I did as a teenager or even in my 30\u2019s and 40\u2019s. Years of extreme sports and adventuring have taken their toll. Joints ache through arthritic pain, damaged and worn cartilages, tiring muscles \u2013 all have contributed to the gradual slow down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet my own Mother, at 85, is as active as she has ever been, and her mind is as sharp as a razor. She refers to her \u2018old folk\u2019 that she looks after, as a volunteer at a local home, many of whom are 10-15 years younger than her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I look at other people of a similar or even younger age and I see many different states of health. It is very evident that all people do not age in the same way, and that some will need assistance long before others. But should we \u2018write someone off\u2019 because they have ailments in their later years?<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"images-with-captions\">\n    <div class=\"image-with-caption\">\n        \n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/uploads\/HealthyAgeing_1.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\">\n        \n        <p>Glyn adventuring is his youth<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>What we should be doing is creating environments and opportunities that allow everyone to be able to do what they value throughout their lives. Being free of illness or infirmity is not a requirement for a good life. Many older people have at least one health condition that, with medication and care, can have little influence on their wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is referred to as Healthy Aging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Healthy ageing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Healthy aging is defined by the World Health Organisation as: <em>\u201cthe process of developing and maintaining the functional ability that enables wellbeing in older age\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They further define Functional Ability as: <em>\u201chaving the capabilities that enable all people to be and do what they have reason to value. This includes a person\u2019s ability to: meet their basic needs; to learn, grow and make decisions; to be mobile; to build and maintain relationships; and to contribute to society\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So never think that because you, or someone you know who is older, has an illness or disability that they cannot take an active role in some outdoor pursuit. I always remember the old saying :<em>\u201cWith age comes wisdom\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We must not let this wisdom go to waste. It is important that you involve everyone in what you are doing. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"images-with-captions row\">\n    <div class=\"image-with-caption columns six\">\n\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/uploads\/HealthyAgeing_5.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\n<p>Glyn walking with his brother who suffers from Parkinson&#8217;s. He finds just being outdoors helpful (pre-March 2020)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"image-with-caption columns six\">\n\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/uploads\/HealthyAgeing_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\n<p>Bedwyn Footpaths Group (pre-March 2020)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enjoy the outdoors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are planning a local group walk but have some members of your community who cannot walk very far, if at all. Invite them to join the committee and get involved in organising or fundraisers. There is a voluntary group in Wiltshire who maintain local footpaths. Not all of them can walk the paths but they can all help clear the paths and keep them open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone needs a purpose for life and each and every one of us has a responsibility to help facilitate this. A few years ago, a good friend of mine, who was wheelchair bound, used to assist me on my map reading courses. He would do the bulk of the classroom training, whilst I dealt with the outdoor practical sessions. We both had abilities and used them to achieve our goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember you do not have to be active to be involved in an outdoor pursuit. Many events require organisers, marshals, timekeepers or medal hander-outers. Everyone can be involved in a physical pursuit just not necessarily all in the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"images-with-captions\">\n    <div class=\"image-with-caption\">\n        \n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/uploads\/HealthyAgeing_3_1.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\">\n        \n        <p>Mandi&#8217;s Mile Walk &#8211; the first time my wife had walked a mile in over 20 years due to severe arthritis and fibromyalgia.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I asked several older friends of mine how they keep active, in-particular what they plan to do after they retire. I have taken the most popular ones to come up with a top 5 things to do towards healthy ageing and my thoughts on how they could achieve these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Do something new<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For me that was taking up hill-walking. \u201cBut we haven\u2019t walked very far in years!\u201d In that case start with a few gentle walks around the neighbourhood slowly increasing the distance and length of time spent outside. When you feel comfortable look for your local hill and walk to the top. Again, slowly increase the height of the hills you walk up and before you know it you will be heading for the higher hills and the longer walks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Get fitter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This links in well with the first tip. However, the person who suggested this had spent all his life either sat in his car or behind a desk \u2013 he was very unfit. I had suggested nice short walks along the river on a sunny Sunday afternoon, even a long walk to a pub \u2013 but all to no avail. Until his Grandson said he was doing a walk with his Beaver Colony and wanted Grandad to come along as well. Inspired by his Grandson\u2019s wish to walk he went and thoroughly enjoyed himself. Now he walks for pleasure \u2013 so if you are that unfit and need inspiration look no further than your grandchildren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"images-with-captions\">\n    <div class=\"image-with-caption\">\n        \n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/uploads\/HealthyAgeing_6a.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\">\n        \n        <p>Glyn on one of many of his trig-hugging adventure walks<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Go wild camping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At an age when one would expect to stay in a 5-star hotel, or at the very least a caravan, this was a surprise. I was brought up camping and have done it all my life, so the response was straight forward \u2013 get yourself along to the local camping shop and buy a tent and a sleeping bag. However, do not head for the hills on your first night, instead spend a night at a local campsite or even the back garden. However, be warned &#8211; your mind may have happy memories of camping, but reality has changed \u2013 in which case donate the tent and sleeping bag to your grandchildren!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Act like a child<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This was a difficult one as it\u2019s been a long time since I was a child! Then I recalled watching a couple of parents with a youngster, maybe 4-5 years old. They were all having a lovely walk, the parents were talking and enjoying the scenery whilst their daughter was ahead of them jumping into every puddle she could find. As I passed them, I said, \u201cshe\u2019s enjoying herself\u201d and the response was \u201cit\u2019s what children do\u201d. It was simple \u2013 just copy what kids do \u2013 but most importantly, have fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"images-with-captions\">\n    <div class=\"image-with-caption\">\n        \n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/uploads\/HealthyAgeing_2.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\">\n        \n        <p>The Yorkshire Dales Brimham Rocks<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Travel around Britain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people in the UK spend their summer holidays jetting off to hotter and more exotic locations. They never give a thought to the beauty and splendour of the British Isles. Yet this wonderful group of islands perched on the edge Europe has some of the best places in the world to visit. Apart from our great heritage there are the <a href=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/nationalparks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">15 majestic National Parks<\/a> \u2013 Britain\u2019s breathing spaces. Sure, stay in your 5-star hotels, but spend your days exploring, driving, walking, sailing, doing whatever you fancy in one of these great national treasures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be perfectly honest these five things apply to all age groups, not just the retired. We are a nation where a quarter of the British public won\u2019t walk anywhere that takes more than 15 minutes and three quarters of us won\u2019t walk to work or the shops. We are an unfit nation with figures showing that 11.3 million people do less than 30 minutes\u2019 activity a week.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow
