Day 22 bis March 2020 to August 2023

  • Day 22 bis 
  • March 2020 to August 2023

The time from March 2020 to late 2023 was awkward for so many.  There are always those who want their view to prevail always,  And in our society there is no easy solution to a pandemic.  It will take time to get what was done into perspective. 

In late 2022 travel arrangements started to ease.  And then I had a prostate related condition. 

As that was being cleared, my close friend Sue became quite ill.  That resolved itself early June and I felt free to book air travel one way and travel insurance until 30 November. 

Whenever possible during restrictions, I continued my training: the blog summary is illuminating, to me at least.

One statistic that stood out was the gradual lessening of average rate per kilometre.  The fall was not great, but it was a fall.

In early August 2023 I arranged to deliver some LP records to a friend from the 1950s who had been involved in their creation.  So a week in Auckland while all that was done. 

Friday 1 September to London.

Sunday 3 September an NZ father’s day celebration with a few hours at the Imperial War Museum followed by roast dinner near Alastair's home in Twickenham. 

Monday 4 September make a start on the Capital Ring route from Woolwich to have dinner with Sue's half-brother brother near Crystal Palace. 

Tuesday 5 September - continue Capital Ring around to Wandsworth Common.  Back at Twickenham, do a final check on my pack and what's in it.

Wednesday 6 September - train to Langres, my selected restart point. 

And so to bed.
