He had to swim the English Channel as part of the last stage of his journey because Channel Tunnel bosses refused him permission to walk through the service tunnel.

Yes, Sarnia 😀

In December 2025, the BBC visited Angela, who said she would be standing at the front gates to welcome him home.
She joked: "Once I've given him a hug I'll tell him, 'And what time do you call this, Karl?'"

I have been following Karl Bushby for some time, he is from my home City.
For 28 years he has been walking around the world, he has crossed, the Bering Strait, deserts and swam oceans as part of this arduous journey.
He is now on British soil and walking the final leg home, his Mum says she will be waiting at the gate.
