Wrinkli's back on the Via! (or will be in May).
Well, who'd a thunk it? I didn't anticipate that another year would elapse before I could plan the next stage of the journey. Still, plans are well in hand now for a 3 May 2022 departure date, and a 451km, 23 stage walk before returning in early June (assuming everything stays as it is now). I'll be picking up where I left off in Ivrea, and finishing in Lucca, in northern Tuscany. Sadly, still no Bro, as he is otherwise engaged with various projects and is a grandad now, poor old chap.
I'm training hard, and have thoroughly worn out one pair of boots since January 2020, having kept moving and notched up a respectable 2,500km in them.
I'm thrilled to be doing the next part at last, and hope to make it to Rome in September 2022.
