Karl Bushby’s story is one of extraordinary endurance, resilience, and audacity. In 1998, the former British paratrooper set out from the southern tip of South America with a singular vision: to walk an unbroken path around the entire planet back to his home in Hull, England.
Over the decades since he started this immense undertaking (known as the Goliath Expedition), Bushby has become a testament to physical grit and sheer willpower. His journey has not yet reached its end, but the trials he has met so far are truly worthy of the history books.
