Thread: Notes for Old Codgers

You're absolutely right
Heres a few things I've learnt the hard way in recent years-:

Don't try and beat your grandson to the top of the ridge - its just not possible
Slowly walking uphill is preferable to steep downhill
Sidling is a must with a pole or hill stick
Youngest in the group always carries the heaviest load
Spare a thought for the recovery of the animal before you shoot it
Take prolonged stops and use "glassing" as an excuse.
