Had I walked in one direction during Covid year (and been able to walk on water) where would I have reached? As we have seen, and will see, not everywhere is an improvement on the woods, parks and suburban streets of North London.
But had I headed broadly south and a little west I could have reached - Lanzarote! Now we're talking...
From the Daily Telegraph
'You can go to the Canaries at any time of year and have good weather more or less guaranteed. It gets windy sometimes, and storms aren’t totally unknown, but most of the time it is sunny with an average temperature of around 22C. Even when the islands are at their hottest, in July and August, the temperature is usually only in the mid-twenties centigrade. Whenever you go, it is nearly always warm enough to swim and sunbathe.'.
Is it Covid-safe?
The Canaries have had their bad weeks, but things are improving now.
On the Plus Side:
Warmth, seaside, mountains and just a great holiday destination.
On the Minus Side:
Not much to report on the downside.
Has it got a Football Team?
Unión Deportiva Lanzarote are the island's most notable team, but of course the Canaries as a whole have two leading clubs on Tenerife and Gran Canaria who have played at the highest level in the Spanish League system. Lanzarote has a much smaller population.
Has it got a Baptist Church?
Lanzarote Christian Fellowship seems like an amalgam of evangelical Anglicans and New Frontiers so that seems to land somewhere near me http://www.lanzarotechristianfellowship.com/ There are Baptist Churches on the more populous islands.
Prospects out of Ten:
Ten. Lanzarote would be a great result from a year's walking.
