Wrinklies forced to rethink!


Well, that wasn't quite what we had in mind when we started planning (or rather when Wrinklitourist began, as the Bro doesn't do planning; he thinks spreadsheets are only for accounts).  This is April 2020, and the UK is in lockdown, along with most of Europe, and travel beyond your local area is unthinkable at the moment.  We're both doing wonderful things in our gardens, but completing the Via is looking unlikely at the moment.  Unless someone produces a reliable antibody test soon (Wrinklitourist thinks she's had Covid-19), and travel restrictions change dramatically, our trip is on hold until 2021, assuming there's a vaccine by then.  

But don't worry, we'll be back to tell you about our adventures soon.  Meanwhile, maybe we can travel a virtual Via while we do our daily exercise.  It may take a bit longer though...
