British adventurer Karl Bushby, 57, completed a 28-year walking journey on Monday, arriving at his mother’s house in Hull after traveling about 50,000 kilometers (31,000 miles) from Punta Arenas, Chile, Al Jazeera and BBC reported1,2.
Crowds gathered in Hull city centre before he walked the last stretch to Angela Bushby’s home, BBC said2. Al Jazeera said a banner read “Welcome Home Son”1.
Bushby set out in November 1998 as a former paratrooper with rules not to return to the United Kingdom until the end and not to use transport to advance, BBC reported2. The route included the Darién Gap, the Bering Strait and a recent English Channel swim1,2.
BBC said only about 15 of the 28 years were spent walking, with visa problems, the late-2000s financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic among delays2.
He had not seen his mother for a decade, BBC reported2. He met his son and a granddaughter he had not previously met on Sunday when he crossed the Humber Bridge2.
