TENBY adventurer Rosie Swale Pope has reached Russia.

She crossed the border into the country last week as part of her 20,000-mile trek round the world on two feet.

According to her website, everyone is very curious about her journey and she is desperately trying to pick up the language.

The 57-year-old grandmother reckons that now she will be doing around 20 kms per day, as it is warmer, the snow is quite deep and wet at the moment.

Rosie, who continues to meet nothing but kindness and help, says that she will be running between 9 am and 4 pm and spending the rest of the time tucked up in her tent.
