I am knocking 78 and can still get around the hills, albeit a bit slower and a bit lower than I used to. I don't do any specific training and am a bit overweight but I keep active, walk a few k's with the dog every day and fit in at least one hill walk a week, not long distance but enough to feel the body working. Doing the same course all the time means you can monitor the improvement as you go. The other advantage is that I now realise that I probably walked past more animals down lower in my youthful rush to get to the tops. More stops and lots of glassing produces better results.
