The Lure of the Lost is a contemporary pilgrimage from Huntly in Scotland to Venice, Italy, undertaken by artist Anthony Schrag. Anthony left Huntly mid-June and has followed a route created from fragments of the Pennine Way and the Via Francigena, going over the Swiss Alps and into Italy. After three and a half months of continuous walking, Anthony will arrive in Venice on 1 October.

Best wishes from rainy Huntly.
