I suppose it's something all of us of advancing years have to contemplate, but sad to hear of it becoming a reality.

Hope your years of touring provide enough good memories to reminisce on to provide some compensation, to paraphrase, better to have toured and retired than never toured at all!

Enjoy your alternative holidays. Personally, my caravan has offered merely alternative accommodation to what I did before, so see no reason why that can't work in reverse, I certainly hope so, for the time when I have to give up the caravan life!

Hope the assorted 'ailments' can be sorted or worked around, certainly know a number of friends 'revitalised' by artificial joints, so wishing all the best on that front.



Very well put and very true

David,

Whilst it's a shame to read that you're no longer going to be touring I fully appreciate and understand your reasons for not doing so.

In the past I've used your website when looking for somewhere to go, I've found the information you gave there as well as your advice on this forum always helpful and informative, thank you.

Good luck to you and Margaret, I hope you can get your health/mobility issues sorted out soon.

I'm so sorry you and Margaret are giving up touring.
I have used used your blog extensively for information and guidance when touring in the UK and abroad.
I have really appreciated the superb campsite reviews.
We are in almost the same position as yourselves.   We both have health issues requiring many hospital appointments.
We have delayed our ferry booking to France four times so far this year, and are waiting for next year's dates so we can put it off again until next spring!
Good Luck in the future and many thanks for all your helpful tips in the past

Sorry to hear that David. Am 84 and in March had a knee replacement. It did not go well!!!!!!! Still limping about but getting there. Hope to continue caravanning soon. All the best for the future.


I am a spring chicken of 70, my knee replacement was in March and I could not be more pleased with the outcome. Driving after 5 weeks, cycling after 7, back in France in our Adria Twin after 8. I think the key is exercise before and after. That and a good surgeon.
