Last night, speaking from a village about 30km from Liege, he told me he was ahead of schedule but nursing a very sore ankle.

β€œTim’s memory drives me an awful lot,” he said. β€œYou remember the happy times but when it gets hard you think what he went through and you realise it’s nothing at all. It seems like he's with me all the way, which is good."
