British adventurer Karl Bushby returns home after 28-year walk around world
The 57-year-old crossed jungles and frozen seas before an emotional homecoming in Hull, northern England.
A British adventurer has completed a 28-year walking journey around the world, arriving at his childhood home after travelling some 50,000km (31,070 miles) across jungles, frozen seas and international borders.
Karl Bushby, 57, was embraced by his mother, Angela, outside her terraced house in Hull, northern England, on Monday, beneath a banner reading “Welcome Home Son”.
Hundreds of cheering supporters had welcomed him in the city centre before he made the final stretch home.
The route took him north through the Americas, across the ice of the Bering Strait from Alaska to Russia, and onwards through Mongolia and China. He later swam across the Caspian Sea before continuing towards Europe.
