'That is no country for old men....Caught in that sensual music all neglect Monuments of unageing intellect.' W.B.Yeats 'Sailing To Byzantium.' 1926

Britain is a country which needs more old men like Khiv Ghurjar and perhaps Christopher Irven
Britain's old men, to learn from the 62 year old Khiv Gurjar, you must :
* take up extreme yoga
* move to Jodhpur in the Indian state of Rajasthan where there are rocky outcrops
* get a BMX bike
* exercise at dawn to avoid the desert heat
Admittedly, Raj was in his 20's when he 'found combining yoga and cycling stunts would be something very unconventional, but also deeply challenging.'
To learn from the 75 year old ex-Army major, Christopher Irven, you must :
* have a lot of courage
* go to a rock called Durdle Door overlooking the sea in Dorset
* take a tomb stoning jump
Unfortunately, Chris was unlucky. His two sons, plucked him from the sea, dragged him back to shore and called an air ambulance because he was shaking from shock.
