Every year, 80-Year-old Jane Dotchin packs her saddlebags and embarks on an adventurous trek from her home in Hexham, Northumberland to Inverness, Scotland. She has been making this trip ever year since 1972, according to a post by Ladbible.

Jane carries everything she needs for the trip on her back, including her tent, food, and a few essentials.

She does all of this while wearing an eyepatch and intends to continue the practise for as long as she can. Jane’s passion for long-distance hiking began when she trotted through the West Country 40 years ago.

She brings her disabled dog, Dinky, along with her in a saddlebag.

She got a taste for the open road after that first trip, and she’s been visiting friends in Fort Augustus, near Loch Ness, Highlands, every fall since.

Jane’s epic journey generally takes around seven weeks, depending on the weather, and she uses it as an opportunity to say hello to individuals she has met over the years.

Talking to Ladbible, she said her mother would look after her other ponies but was never keen on looking after Halfinger stallion. “So one day, I rode him down to Somerset to see a friend, which is about 300 miles,” she added.

Jane is out there giving travel goals to travellers and influencers.

Just like Jane, Torbjorn C Pedersen, also known as Thor, who loves to travel, has so far visited 194 countries without ever taking a flight. He is on a mission to go around the world without flying.

41-year-old is a goodwill ambassador for the Danish Red Cross and he started this adventure on October 10, 2013.
