Full Disclosure: Toby got a ride part of the way


On the run… very slowly! Toby the 109-year-old tortoise found 22 miles away from the garden he escaped from (but it took him almost a YEAR to get that far)

Toby escaped out the back gate from his Wendy Stokes' garden in Kent

He was picked up by a driver on a nearby road and taken to a rescue centre

Six months later he was re-homed with a couple in Margate - 22 miles away

Toby had 'Stokes' written on his shell so the couple tried calling every Stokes in Kent before reuniting him with Wendy 11 months after escape

Owner Wendy Stokes, 74, had given up hope of ever seeing Toby again after he escaped from her garden 11 months ago.

But he has now returned home and after piecing together his escapades over the last year, it's become apparent he's had quite an adventure.
