Visa stand-off fails to stop 36,000-mile trek to Hull – World – Times Online
Karl Bushby started out 6 years ago to walk across the world. Beginning at the tip of Chile, he walked up the entire length of the Western Hemisphere, crossed the Bering Strait while it was frozen(!), only to be arrested in Russia for not entering at a checkpoint (he had acquired the necessary visas already). Originally ordered to be deported, a hight court today overturned the ruling, allowing him to continue on his trek.
