Briton ends 28-year walk around the world in Hull

Karl Bushby, 57, has completed a roughly 31,000-mile (50,000 km) journey on foot, arriving at his childhood home in Hull, northern England, on Monday, 2 Nov. He set out from Punta Arenas, Chile, on 1 Nov 1998 aged 28 and crossed four continents and about 30 countries without using transport. Hundreds of supporters met him at City Hall in Hull, and UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham sent a congratulatory message read by Hull East MP Karl Turner. Delays included the 2008 financial crash, the COVID-19 pandemic and border problems.
