Adventurer Karl Bushby brings his true story of walking 36,000 miles from Chile to Hull to the stage in a live biographical event.
Karl Bushby brings his story to Hull City Hall on Friday 13 November, the second stop of a six-venue UK tour presented in association with NLP Productions. It's a live biographical event, and for the first time he's taking the account of his journey to the stage.
The story starts in 1998, when Bushby was 28 and left Punta Arenas in Chile with a single goal: to walk all the way home to Hull. He set out on two unbreakable rules: no transport to advance his journey, and no going home until he'd completed it on foot. Over nearly three decades he's crossed some of the most unforgiving environments on the planet, including the perilous jungles of the Darién Gap between Panama and Colombia, the frozen crossing between Russia and Alaska, and a swim across the Caspian Sea. Along the way he's faced life-threatening danger and extraordinary physical and psychological challenges.
Now 57, he's bringing that story to UK theatres as a live event for the first time. On stage he shares the experiences behind the headlines, the moments when survival hung in the balance, the sacrifices of a life on the move, and the determination that kept him heading home. The Hull date is the second stop of a six-venue UK tour presented in association with NLP Productions.
