But ... you're younger and fitter Jim. And ... I can't swim even though there's a pool less than 100 tards down the road. So a zimmer IS looming large [emoji45]

Only a little younger Mike... In 50 years 4 years is negligible :wink:

To be honest, three years ago I was like you. In fact practically and to all intents and purposes disabled... A length of the pool nearly killed me and walking was about as far as you could... That bad...

Slowly and by training every day and by carefully progressing it I have reached the point like yesterday where I cycled 30 miles and today swam 1800m (50 lengths of our pool) and then cycled 10 miles in the rain...

You can do it Mike!

Glutton for punishment Jim!

For my monthly exercise I drove all the way to Hexham and back.
Did walk from the car to three different shops though :)

If only I could convince myself of that Jim.

Hypnotism perhaps?
