60 years young, out every morning for a mooch, one day a week ferreting, do a bit with the air rifle and some beating with the dogs for me mates to shoot (sorry scare) , ones 65 the others 72 its a nice easy morning stroll, they stroll, me being the baby I do all the sweating and cussing. Stopped lamping about 5 years ago, couldnt be arsed with all the driving there and back early hours.

Sounds a bit harsh a fine of that amount chart!some great stories fair play

 

The problem was that one of the three Magistrates was the landowner !!!! I don't think that would stand these days ! As soon as the charges were read out, he leaned over to the Clerk of the Court and asked "What's the maximum punishment ?" I'm sure the old b*****d would have had us hung or deported if could have !! LOL !!

 

Cheers.

54 years young out every day with the dog mooching you only feel old if your not out doing some thing i walk miles and get out with the lamp weather being ok had runners all my life getting out keeps you fit and active atb

Cant beat it, out twice a day, unless its slatting it down, still get a buzz from it, ive got some beautiful lands to walk, it dont bother me if we catch or not, but its a bonus if we do, i have working dogs, so i put work in front of them, but for me, its freedom, an escape from reality for a few hours each day , keeps me young at heart, keeps me fit, enjoy your dogs, enjoy your life, as i do.

I'm 58 and my legs feel as if they belong to a 90 year old. Still get out with the long nets and the odd day ferreting when I can.There is an op I could have, but there is a chance I could lose my legs, so feck that. I gave up my SGC a month ago, that was hard, I have had one since I was 15.

 

The mind is willing but afraid the legs are not, it's a bit of a bugger this getting old lark. By the time you think you have an idea of how things work, it's too bloody late.
