Goliath Expedition Update: Karl On The Move Again!

Wednesday, May 10, 2006
The Official Website for The Goliath Expedition has been updated with great news. Karl will be allowed to continue on his walk around the world. :) You'll recall that The Goliath Expedition is Karl Busby's attempt to walk around the world. He started at the southern most tip of South America, and over the course of ten years has walked to Alaska, then crossed the Bearing Sea, only to be arrested for illegally entering Russia. He was then ordered to leave the country, which looked like it might be the end of his dream. After appealing the decision, his deportation order has been overturned, and he can now continue on his way. The plan will be for Karl to eventually return to his home in Great Britain. For now, he'll have to be content with walking across the great, and desolate, expanse of Siberia. I'm sure he couldn't be happier about it. :)

Update:Gaddling.com has more information on this story, including the fact that Karl's case was aided by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, who happens to be the governor in the province he wandered into.
