The Goliath Expedition

Karl Bushby is a former Airborne soldier from the British military. He sees things differently than most people.
In 1994, when the Channel Tunnel was completed, most people thought it was a good thing because now they could take the rail from England to the Continent.
But Bushby took it a step further. He realized that it would now be possible to walk from Argentina to England by going over the Bering Strait in the winter time when it froze over. On May 31, 1997, he found himself in Argentina, walking. He has been walking ever since. Along the way he has been arrested, fell in love, crossed jungles, swamps, mountains, and long lonely roads. He has sliced arteries and lit his tent on fire. He once even accidentally maced a reporter.
Last winter he managed to successfully cross the Bering Strait on foot and crossed into Siberia, where he was promptly arrested, tried, convicted, and deported. But he managed to get the conviction overturned and gained permission to continue across Siberia and on to home. But Siberia is just too dangerous to cross in the summer, so he took a year off and flew back to Columbia to be with the woman he fell in love with there.
Now he is back in Fairbanks, Alaska, making final preparations to pick up where he left off last winter.
