Synopsis
In November 1998, in Punta Arenas, Chile, Karl Bushby set out on one of the most remarkable journeys of modern times. His plan is as simple as it is extraordinary: to walk up the Americas, across the Bering Strait, through Asia, Russia, and Europe, back through the Channel Tunnel, and return to Britain in 2011. It is a challenge of epic proportions—20 miles a day; 3,000 miles a year; 36,000 miles in total. By the time Karl returns, he will have crossed four continents, 25 countries, a frozen sea, six deserts, and seven mountain ranges. Just one man, two feet, and an unstoppable determination. Giant Steps is Karl's diary of the first part of his trip: trekking from one end of the Americas to the other. Raw and revealing, it is an awe-inspiring account of adventure and human endurance.
