Times of India · interesting

Karl Bushby, a former British paratrooper, has completed an extraordinary 28-year journey, walking over 31,000 miles across four continents without motorized transport to return home to Hull, England. He began his trek in 1998 at age 29, leaving behind his then 8-year-old son, Adam. Bushby, now 57, was reunited with his mother and met his 12-year-old granddaughter for the first time. His son Adam, who experienced an 'awkward' reunion with his father at 14, acknowledges the cost of his father's dream.
