Karl Bushby, a 57-year-old British adventurer who has been walking around the world since 1998, is refused permission to pass through the Channel Tunnel on the final stage of his journey. Bushby set off from Chile and has covered about 36,000 miles over 28 years under a self-imposed rule that he will not use mechanised transport. With his planned route bringing him to the Channel Tunnel, he has been denied access rather than being allowed to cross by that means. Bushby says he is prepared to use another method to finish, including swimming the channel, if he cannot walk through the tunnel. The refusal means he cannot complete the remaining distance using the tunnel route as intended, though his longer-term aim remains to complete the circumnavigation without breaking his transport restriction. The reports focus on the denial of passage through the tunnel and Bushby’s stated willingness to adapt his final crossing method to reach the end of his trip.
