    Bit of a milestone today. We reached 1000 km at Modane. Thought there was a sign but nothing.
    We have also decided to change our next route. Hexatrek takes the very scenic and high route through the Southern Alps.
    We have decided to take the shorter GR5 route to Nice and then rejoin the Hexatrek for the Pyrenees. Allen has gone on with the original route.
    We have mixed emotions on this but are keen to give our knees a few easier days now and then and also give us a bit more time to explore and hopefully catch Harry.
    The current plan is to meet Allen and Alex in Toulouse for the opening game of the World Cup in a French bar.
    We have now been walking for 7 weeks today with 5 rest days, including one forced on us by bad weather.
    Allen only had 3, which is an amazing achievement.
    Hopefully, Allen can send through some updates so we can see his progress.
    Should be in Nice in about 15-20 days.
