Reported byExplorersWeb ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Karl Bushby, 57, completed a 20-hour Channel swim over three days on October 5, 2026, after 28 years and nearly 50,000 km of travel on his Goliath Expedition that began in Chile in 1998, using only human-powered locomotion without vehicles.
Bushby's expedition is not yet complete; he still has 400 km to walk from the south coast of England to his mother's home in Hull.
