What a woman!

She's walking from LE to JOG pulling a "pod" behind her that she sleeps/eats/lives in.
Met her whilst I was riding up out of the valley into Devon on the A390. She was having a breather and sorting stuff out, and I saw the "pod" in a layby declaring Land's End to John O'Groats. Her pod has all creature comforts inside, and a solar panel on the roof.
She interviewed me on her 'phone, and was going to upload it to her page.
She's a very chatty lady in her mid 70s, and it was difficult getting word in edgeways, but we chatted for 15mins or more. At that point, I didn't know who she was particularly, but after getting back on my way and considering it all, I had a good idea who she was.
Quite a "racey" lady as I remember from the 1970's appearing in Fiesta magazine. Her and her husband sailed from Oz to UK via Cape Horn. Lots of nude photos too.
On my way back, who should I see, but Rosie again!
Another chat, and then I was off home for lunch.
She was heading for Tavistock for supplies, and I asked her where her next stop for the night was, and how she's going to get back from JOG etc etc ............... answer?
She has no idea where's she's stopping each day/night other than she'll find somewhere quiet - but not too quiet - and settle down.
She's keeping a blog going and a FB page, but I can't seem to find much online about this walk/trek.
Maybe you lot out there in CUK land, can find her up-to-date pages.
Like a fool, I forgot to ask.
