British adventurer Karl Bushby completes 28-year walk around the world in Hull

British adventurer Karl Bushby, 57, arrived at his mother's home in Hull, northern England, on Monday, finishing a 28-year, roughly 50,000-kilometre (31,070-mile) walk around the world. His mother, Angela, embraced him after hundreds of supporters welcomed him in the city centre. Bushby began his Goliath Expedition in Punta Arenas, southern Chile, in November 1998 with a tent, a few hundred dollars and a cheap plastic camera, aiming to reach Hull without motorised transport. He went north through the Americas, crossed the Bering Strait ice into Russia, and continued through Mongolia and China, swimming the Caspian Sea. He was detained after entering Russia and faced visa and funding problems. The 2008 financial crisis cost him major sponsors, stretching an expected 12-year trip to 28. Last month he swam the English Channel, the last major obstacle.

Left-leaning CBS News runs a short video report by Ramy Inocencio. It leads with Bushby's age of 29 at the start and the more than 10,000 days on the move, and lists the continents crossed. It omits the hardships, the sponsor losses and the Channel swim. Right-leaning outlets had not reported this story at the time of writing, while left-leaning and alternative outlets had. Those covering it focus on the homecoming and the length of the journey. Among alternative outlets, Al Jazeera adds the route, obstacles and funding setbacks, while France 24 stresses the emotional family reunion in a brief item. All the coverage agrees on the 28-year duration and the return to northern England.
