Following Patrick Leigh Fermor

Thanks to the Chatwin News Twitter stream, I discovered the blog of Nick Hunt
He is following in the footsteps of the author of some of the best travel books ever written.
After the Woods and the Water.
A Time of Gifts and Between the Woods and the Water describe a Europe that no longer exists, written by Patrick Leigh Fermor, who sadly died quite recently without finishing the journey to Constantinople (as it was then)
Nick is trying to find out what is left, and has been travelling for months, as Fermor did.
A great undertaking...
I perhaps need to get a grant to do something similar...
