Covering more than 58,000 kilometers across four continents, the journey began in Chile in 1998.
British adventurer Karl Bushby returned today, Monday, to his hometown of Hull, a coastal city in northeastern England, concluding a 28-year circumnavigation during which he covered more than 58,000 kilometers.
British media reported that Bushby set off from Chile in November 1998, at the age of 29, with the goal of returning to his city on foot via a continuous route, in an adventure he named the “Goliath Journey.”
During his long trek, Bushby crossed four continents and swam across the English Channel, before finally reaching his hometown nearly three decades after launching his expedition.
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham congratulated the 57-year-old adventurer on his extraordinary achievement, praising his determination and belief in his own capabilities.
Bushby, born in 1969 in Hull, is an adventurer, author, and former paratrooper who served in the British Army’s Parachute Regiment for 11 years.
