Carry on or restart?

2 Replies

Completed W3R2 then got struck down with a virus/nasty cough followed by a holiday that has set me back by 4 weeks. Not sure whether to pick up where I left off or restart from beginning. Any advice?

Welcome to the forum and well done on your progress, tough luck on your illness.

Enjoy your journey.
