It is possible to journey by foot from the southern most point of South America back to England and leave behind you an unbroken trail of footprints!

This site will carry full detailed history of Karl Bushby's record breaking attempt to walk around the world.

It will take over fourteen years to complete, It will cover over 36,000 Miles. It will test one man's ability to go it alone and walk around the world, in one non-stop journey. It is under way now and will provide one of the most interesting and captivating stories to be told.

Karl Bushby, a 39-year-old ex-paratrooper, is chasing that very dream to become the first person to complete an unbroken round the world walk.

He set off on 1st November 1998, he has completed over 17000 miles. With over 19000 more miles to walk, maintaining his current speed, he should return home to Hull in 2012. All the adventures, trials, tribulations and magical moments are illustrated in his personal journals. Karl has already walked through South and Central America, North America and over the Bering Straits into Russia.

I say absolutely! Any given opportunity should be taken. Progress is progress and is the priority.   Continue »

A few words from Karl
June 9, 2006
Giant Steps
Foreword
by Frederick Forsyth

There are virtually no undiscovered places left to find, no unclimbed mountains to scale, no new rivers left to cross. It seems there may be no challenges left to face.

Yet every now and again we find someone who has noticed a new challenge hitherto unthought of, and we think: it may be crazy but he must have a lot of bottle to undertake it.

Such exploits may last hours, days, even weeks. To fly non-stop around the world on a single tank of fuel; to sail alone on the same lonely journey; all demand a 'Wow' of admiring surprise.
