A journey into regenerative farming in the Lake District.
In May 2022 Clare Dyson set out with her seven-year-old Welsh Cob, Merry, to ride over 150 miles through the Lake District wild camping along the way. The route took them over fells and mountain passes, along old drovers roads and packhorse routes. The terrain was tough and it was a challenging adventure for them both. Clare’s aim was to find a vision of hope for the future. By visiting farmers who are adopting regenerative pracices along the route Clare wanted to see firsthand how people are able to simultaneously produce food whilst boosting biodiversity and mitigating climate change.
