Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 2 Nov, 15:22 · Archive

Karl Bushby has returned to Hull after walking from Chile to Yorkshire over 28 years without using transport.

Karl Bushby, a British adventurer, has returned home to Hull after completing a 28-year walk from Punta Arenas, Chile. He arrived on 2 November and was greeted by his mother. Starting his journey in 1998, Bushby made two promises: he would use no transport to advance his journey and would not return home until he had completed the entire expedition on foot.

During his trek, Bushby crossed some of the world's most hostile landscapes and faced life-threatening dangers. His route took him through the perilous Darién Gap between Panama and Colombia and across the frozen expanse of the Bering Strait between Russia and Alaska.

Bushby will visit York Theatre Royal on Sunday, 22 November—just 20 days after returning home—to tell his story to audiences. The Theatre Royal describes his journey as 'a remarkable testament to courage, resilience, and the indomitable human spirit'.
