Partially blind octogenarian travels 14 miles to cross the street

Nancy Underwood must travel 14 miles to cross the street because the village she lives in doesn’t have a cross walk.

From Daily Mail:

If she wants to visit the Post Office or shop in Chideock, Dorset, she has to catch the Number 31 bus to Bridport three miles away before using a pedestrian crossing.

The grandmother-of-five then boards a return journey and stops off in Chideock on the opposite side of the road to her house, where she can safely visit the shop.

She then hops onto the next Number 31 bus and travels four miles to the village of Charmouth, where there is also a pedestrian crossing.

After crossing the road, she completes the final leg of her journey on her fourth bus of the day, which takes her back to Chideock and completes the 90minute round trip.

She usually does her shopping in Bridport but is then forced to stay on the Number 31 as it passes through the village and travel on to Charmouth, where she can cross the road.

She then boards a bus back to the village – an eight-mile detour which adds another hour to her weekly shopping trip.
