It has occurred to me that us old folks are once again facing discrimination
Well sort of anyway. I got on the FKT web site
http://fastestknowntime.proboards.com/ and looked around and could not find any age related hiking records. So I asked the admin there if there were any and the answer is that they do not have any such information.
Just from hanging around this site for 10+ years I know that there is a lot of historical knowledge of impressive hiking speeds on AT thru hikes - I just don't remember them. And probably for many other trails as well.
Has any geezer (I can say that because I am one) ever broken 100 days on the AT?
What does everyone know about for AT thru hike speeds for hikers say over the age of 50? And over the age of 60? Any other trails?
