80-Year-Old Woman Completes 600-Mile Trek

Each year, 80 year old horse lover, Jane Dotchin takes a 600 mile ride across the UK on her Irish cob Diamond accompanied by her trusty Jack Russell, Dinky. Jane has been carrying out this UK wide trek for more than 40 years, starting in 1972. The ride takes around seven weeks beginning from Hexham and goes all the way to the Cairngorms in the Scottish Highlands.

A life long horse lover, she travels the UK trying to increase awareness to the younger generations about horse safety on the roads while driving.

During her trip she stop off at friends but she also has a tent in which she can sleep in during the journey. Her diet for the long ride is simple and basic and includes mostly porridge, oatcakes and hard cheese. She travels between 15-20 miles each day and knows the route so well she makes the journey with no map.
