"Mr Jeffcock turned 70 last birthday. He is one of a generation of 'grey nomads', old in body but young at heart, backpacking its way around the world. Spurred on by greater life expectancy and better health in old age, they are travelling independently and sleeping in youth hostels."

(Mark Rowe, "Itchy Feet," The Independent, February 27, 2000)
