Hi I am Penny, new here and searching for help / info / friends. In March I am driving my pony from Andover in Hampshire to the island of Islay in the Hebrides where I now live. It seemed more fun than putting him in a lorry. I am looking for info on green lanes and byways. My route is more or less a direct line from Andover to Newent in Glos, then up through Shropshire. I will probably then take a line toward Preston, Settle, Kendal and Carlisle, then Glasgow and unfortunately then main road all the was to Islay.
Any ideas, or offers of an overnight camping spot with a place to tether the pony will be very welcome, as will knowledge of any parts of the route. I would quite like help and company if there are any like minds out there. I am a 64 year old female. I am very much looking forward to the trip.
