I may have missed something but...

I just tried to get a quote for travel insurance for Europe from the BMC.  I was assuming that questions about activities would follow. Instead I was told that over 70s can't get BMC insurance. 

Is that right? I suppose I should have been suspicious when the only option was single trip when I was looking for annual insurance!

Must be under 70 for travel cover  or Under 80 for Rock/Alpine /Ski /High Altitude

SINGLE TRIP CONDITIONS
• On the date You purchase cover You must be under 70 years of age in respect of the
Travel Cover only, or under 80 years of age for the Trek Cover, Rock, Alpine & Ski Cover or
High Altitude & Remote Areas Cover (unless We have agreed in writing to provide cover
beyond this age and You have paid the appropriate additional premium due).

Annual Multi Trip- Age limit not mentioned but I suspect its the same conditions
