In 1998, former British soldier Karl Bushby was drinking in a bar in Chile, when he said to his friend:
“I bet you I can walk home from here”
His friend accepted - so Karl began walking, all the way back to England, no vehicles allowed.
27 years later, Karl is still walking.
He’s walked 36,000 miles (58,000 km) through the Darién Gap, across the Bering Strait on ice, swam 186 miles across the Caspian Sea, survived deserts, jungles, and even did time in a Russian prison.
Now in Germany, Karl has just 1,100 miles left and is expected to arrive back home in September this year.
