It takes 82-year-old Jane Dotchin around seven weeks to reach Scotland as she covers between 15 to 20 miles every day.
A pensioner with impaired vision travels 600 miles every year from England to Scotland with her dog in her saddlebag.
And she is so familiar with the route that she has befriended business owners and community leaders on her way. During her seven-week journey, the Mirror reports that Jane sleeps in a tent and lives on porridge, oatcakes and cheese. Speaking previously, after she received an Exceptional Achievement Award from the British Horse Society, Jane said: "I refuse to go slogging on through pouring wet rain. There are a few different routes I can take depending on the weather.
Jane, who has impaired vision and uses an eyepatch, added: "You've got to be careful when you go on the side of the road because there are bottles and cans, and anything... There are pizza containers, all sorts of things. When Diamond gets frightened, having stepped on something, it is hard to jump back on the road, which can be very dangerous."
