Lockdown

Andorra - just before it shut

We headed north from the Blanca for a few days climbing at Collbato/Montserrat before nipping back over the border to the Ariege and the Pyrenees. We had been following the Coronavirus developing over the globe, but were almost caught out by the speed with which it swept across Europe. We were still making travel plans a couple of weeks before country after country went into lockdown.
In France it quickly developed from 'avoid people' too don't drive except to the shops. We are fortunate at Chez Arran in that we have a big garden and there are several local walks easily accessible without using the footpaths that are all closed now.

Self Isolating - easy!

At least I have huge amount of work backed-up, photo editing and cataloguing, articles to write and of course the new Costa Blanca guidebook to get stuck into. It looks like we will be here for at least another month - but as we have always said, there could be (much) worse places to be stuck.
