Tenby adventurer Rosie Swale Pope has been injured as she heads for home on her epic journey around the world The 61-year-old grandmother has had her trek delayed after breaking several ribs in a fall in Iceland. A message posted on her website (http://www.rosiearoundtheworld.co.uk">www.rosiearoundtheworld.co.uk) from her son James said at the weekend she was okay and did not want anyone to worry. "She is being well looked after, but is having to take a few weeks to recover," he added.  Rosie was just 60 miles from the east coast of the north Atlantic island when she was injured. She will now have to rest for at least two weeks, but remains determined to resume as soon as possible, although it is likely to be about four to six weeks until everything is healed properly. In the meantime, Rosie, who left her home four- and-a-half years ago, is expected to announce details of the final leg of her run - from Scotland to Tenby - shortly. In her latest entry on her website, Rosie said as she fell, one of the shafts of Icebird - her home on wheels which she pulls behind her - drove into her side and she heard 'a cracking sound.' She fell to the ground and was unable to get to her feet until the first vehicle of the day passed and stopped to help her up. The occupants were most worried about Rosie, but she insisted on getting going and carrying on her way.  However, later in the day, a photographer who went looking for Rosie to take pictures for the British press ended up abandoning the photoshoot and instead drove her to a medical centre where a doctor found she had broken ribs. Said Rosie: "I have broken two ribs at least near my spinal column, though not dangerous - not near a lung, and also have a bit of damage to the ribs at the front. It would have been much worse for my run if I had broken an ankle. "The only catch is that he (the doctor) said setting off immediately would make the injury less likely to heal quick and could cause more damage. I did not want to run through pain and everything to take so long to get better that I'd be hobbling on arrival in Britain. I want Icebird and I to arrive proudly in fine style! "So, it will be about four to six weeks until everything is healed properly, but if I use pain as a guide, I ought to be able to set off with Icebird again in around two weeks." But until then, Rosie is camping out in Icebird - which has been repaired - beside Lake Myvatn. Rosie's latest setback is not the first she has encountered along the way. She was hit by a bus, suffered pneumonia, frost bite and more recently, a breast cancer scare. That was a poignant time for Rosie as she had embarked on the challenge to increase awareness of prostate cancer following the death of her husband, Clive Pope, as well as to raise money for a Russian children's home in Kitezh. Rosie added: "Very definitely I'll be bouncing 100 per cent and dancing and doing high kicks for joy as I reach the finish in Tenby. I am getting more excited than ever about all this. The ribs will make hardly any difference to the plans coming together." FOOTNOTE: Rosie sent the latest photograph of her to us via her friend Ann Rowell. In the accompanying email, Rosie sent good luck wishes to all the members of the TROTs Running Club who are taking part in this Sunday's London Marathon.
