Karl Bushby is almost home after 28 years. He left southern Chile in 1998. He wanted to reach his home in England without riding in cars, boats or planes to move forward.
Now 57, he has travelled about 50,000 kilometres. He has walked through forests and crossed ice. He has also crossed seas by swimming and floating. Sometimes he waited years for permission to continue. He did not walk every day.
Bushby is expected to reach Hull on November 2. He has not seen his mother for about ten years. After so long away, he feels excited but unsure about life at home.
