The Mouth of a Cave, 1784, Hubert Robert

Përshëndetje familja! Welcome to my little post-it note on the inter-web. I’m currently walking from England to India so if I’m slow in replying to your messages that’s my excuse — even though I’m always slow in replying regardless of what I’m doing, anyway…

So far this year has taken me from the far north of Shqipri (Albania), into and across Kosovo (and up it’s tallest peak, Gjeravica), into North Macedonia through the Šar Mountains, and up and over Mount Korab, the tallest mountain in both NM and AL, and into Greece.

Climbed Mount Olympus, briefly returned to Albania to spend more time with Jess, and then back to melting in the heat of Mediterranean days only to barely reconstitute in the night and repeat, repeat, repeat.

At last, in September, crossing Bulgaria, it has cooled down. Pretty soon I’ll be complaining about cold nights, and rainy days.

Come take a look at my progress, or lack thereof.

Updates from the road are mostly going on in the WhatsApp group, if I forgot to add you then flick me a message. If you don’t have WhatsApp then I will slowly be adding those updates to this site too but I’m already half a year behind on that so don’t hold your breath! :D

There’s a little bit of non-walk related stuff below too.

oh, and I’m a prolific quoter. On the rare occasions that I do dream of something like work, it’s in a role that might be best likened to that of a librarian. I dream of connecting the right people, to the right idea, at the right time. If you like the things I write, or more especially if you don’t, then take a gander at my collection of quotes and you’re sure to find a clipping of something much better.
