After 50,000 km, British round-the-world walker faces final hurdle

After 28 years and 50,000 km, British adventurer Karl Bushby is facing one last hurdle in his bid to trek home from South America without using any form of transport—the English Channel. When he set off in November 1998, Bushby set himself two rules: not to use any form of transport to advance, and not to return home—near Hull in northern England—except on foot. The 57-year-old had originally hoped to use a service corridor in the Channel Tunnel on foot, but he said the authorities seemed "set against" this idea.

00:01Yeah, this is a good space.
00:21There's only two options.

00:28The other one is to swim, but we can't swim either.
00:33So we're kind of rocking a hard place right now, trying to figure this out.
00:49I haven't had time to prepare for this swim.
00:52So it's just a case of I'm going to...
00:55It depends if and when the swim is going to happen now.
00:58We were hoping to be in the water come the 1st of October.
01:03So I get there, literally test the suit, get in.
01:07There was no real time.
01:10But now we don't know what's happening at the moment.
01:13So we're just trying to be as flexible and open-minded as possible, I guess.
01:19I mean, swimming is the worst scenario.

01:27I say I swim like a cat dropped in a bathtub.
