dropoutdave 0 #1 March 1, 2005 I just found out about this guy, absolutley incredible. "The Goliath Expedition is like no other world record breaking attempt. It will take over TEN years to complete and will cover over 36,000 Miles across four continents, 25 countries, crossing a frozen sea, six deserts, seven mountain ranges in one non-stop journey. It is possible to journey by foot from the southern most point of South America back to England and leave behind you an unbroken trail of footprints!" "He set off on 1st November 1998, he has completed over 17000 miles. With over 19000 more miles to walk, maintaining his current speed, he should return home to Hull in 2009. All the adventures, trials, tribulations and magical moments are illustrated in his personal journals." Check out some of his stories in the media section. At the moment he's at the most dangerous part of the walk, "...crossing from Alaska into Siberia, using the frozen Arctic waters of the Chukchi Sea (north of the Bering Straits) as a land bridge." http://www.earthtrekuk.net/index.html ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces......

dropoutdave 0 #3 March 1, 2005 Too right. I'm just reading his journals now, even just trying to imagine some of the emotions he must have been through is incredible. It's going to make one hell of a book when he gets back. ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dropoutdave 0 #6 March 1, 2006 *BUMP* In case anyone has been following this guy, he's back on the road, well sea, again after missing his chance to cross the Chukchi Sea into Siberia last winter he's well on his way across it now. Go on my son you're almost half way there now! ------------------------------------------------------ May Contain Nut traces...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
