80-year-old woman completes annual 600-mile trek with her pony and dog
After that initial journey, Jane caught the taste for the open road and has been traveling to visit friends near Fort Augustus, near Loch Ness, in the Highlands every autumn since. Her epic journey usually takes around seven weeks, depending on the weather, and Jane uses it as a chance to pop in and say hi to people she has met over the years.
She sustains herself on porridge, oatcakes, and cheese, and doesn’t need much electricity as she has an old mobile phone with a battery that lasts six weeks.
Jane’s inspiring adventure isn’t just about the destination—it’s about the spirit of resilience and the joy of connecting with both nature and people along the way. The bond she shares with her horse and dog is a testament to the companionship that makes such a long journey possible.
What an incredible woman!
