You don’t have to be young to keep travelling

My wonderful Mum Brenda was never a Road Warrior for work. But that hasn’t stopped her being an intrepid hiker and back packer even though she is now 75 years old. Each summer she heads off for six-eight weeks with nothing more than a backpack, sleeping bag and tent. This year she flew down to Geneva and has been hiking on the Grand Route 5 (GR5) south towards the Mediterranean. This ends up being hundreds of kilometers, and the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest several times. You can read more about her earlier GR5 marathon trip in 2018 at My GR5 Adventure — Cakes by BE, a website created by my brother Mark.
