48,000 km in 28 years: what Carl Bushby lost and found on foot
Carl Bushby is known as the first person to make an uninterrupted trip around the world. On November 2, he returned to his parents’ home in Hull, exactly 28 years after leaving. Strictly speaking, “to circumnavigate the globe” is impossible because of the oceans. Bushby overcame the most accessible route for pedestrians: started in southern Chile, crossed the Bering Strait on ice and through Russia, Mongolia, China, Turkey and Europe returned to Britain.
