Charlie, where does it say "don't repost?" I just reread the flyer and don't see that language anywhere. If it's on the Friends site itself, you are right, it should be removed.
Regarding older folks choosing a less rigorous trip. That is going to become more common as we all age. I know of a couple of other folks that have decided to take the first day, even though they would like to take part in the two day but just don't feel that they have the stamina. I'm 70 and a lot of the folks that read and participate on the NGDF are pushing 80 and beyond. I know my dad used to get frustrated when he got into his 80's because he couldn't do things that he used to be able to do.
