Karl Bushby: Giant Steps
I picked up an updated copy of Karl Bushby’s travel book, Giant Steps, while looking around Waterstones today.
Karl Bushby is an ex-paratrooper from Hull who, in 1998, decided to walk back home from South America.
Apart from the fact that in 2006 he was the first Brit to cross the Bearing Straits on foot, I know nothing more about him.
I’ve had a quick flick through the book and I have to say that I’m totally amazed by it… this guy is obviously the real deal and an inspiration to anybody who has ever wanted to attempt the impossible.
More to come when I’ve got at least some proper reading done!
