Hafren hoofs it

15 Jul 2024

After being tagged in Worcestershire on 18 May, Hafren remained in much the same area until a few days ago.

He finally got the urge to leave, and in just two days completed a mammoth 670 km (416 miles) journey, taking him to the outskirts of Limoges in southwest-central France.

From here he swiftly continued a further 585 km (363 miles), crossing the Pyrenees just to the south of Lourdes and arriving in the Spanish province of Soria, in the Castile and León region.
