Cognac is very well recovered from his adventure last summer and has now had a little time off.
We have moved house recently and I put up my big poster of Britain up on the wall, where everyday I look at it and feel a little amazed at how for myself and my incredible horse came. I have been working a lot on the run up to Christmas and have found myself longing for the long summer days and the chance to hit the road and complete the ride.
However 230 miles just seems such a short distance- it would just be like a little riding holiday! I'm thinking about riding from my home in West Sussex up to Bath, where I will pick up where we left off and ride down to Land's End, from where I am considering riding home along the coast as much as possible. I think this will be about 700 miles in total and I want to take 3 months or more to complete it. I would like the journey to be as relaxed and chilled out as possible, with plenty of time to stop and chat and get to know people and the land. I am also going to take my Labrador, Saffy, along for company as she always comes out for rides with Cognac and myself now (and will be an excellent hot water bottle when I sleep in my tent!)
