82...AND I'M  ALL  ABOARD

A GRANDAD who took up skateboarding aged 82 says he has no fear of injury.

Don Morton took up the hobby in September, after switching from rollerblading - which he first tried in his late 60s.

He said: "I've had a couple of falls, but I know that from my skating experience there is no way you're not going to fall.

"They are inevitable. I just wear my normal clothing and wrist protectors."
