The True Story of Karl Bushby’s Walk Around the World

When Karl finally reaches Hull on foot—whether next year or in several more—he will become the first person known to have walked an unbroken path around the world. Not figuratively. Not metaphorically. Literally. The feat isn’t just one of physical stamina. It’s a masterclass in persistence, creativity, resilience, and character.

He’s outlasted climates, red tape, self-doubt, and decades of change. The journey redefined what it means to finish something. And though the final steps may not come with parades or front-page headlines, they’ll matter in a deeper way. He’ll have walked home. And no one else on Earth can say that.
