A homecoming celebration is planned in Hull for a walker who has spent 28 years covering 50,000km on foot from South America .

Karl Bushby, now 57, set off from the southern end of Chile in 1998, when he was 28, vowing at the time to walk all the way home without using any form of motorised transport.

The journey brought years of dangerous escapades, including crossing the notorious Darien Gap in Central America, while he also traversed the Bering Strait between Alaska and Russia on the frozen sea.

Mr Bushby arrived back in England earlier this month, and announced upon his return that he had swum the Channel.

Karl Bushby is expected to make his final stop at Queen Victoria Square, in the centre of the city, on Monday November 2, before returning to his mother's house.
