A HULL adventurer who has spent an extraordinary 27 years walking around the world has revealed the two most terrifying locations he has encountered during his epic journey.

Karl Bushby, a former paratrooper who reportedly aims to become the first person to complete a continuous round-the-world trek, began his colossal expedition in Chile in November 1998 and will soon return to the UK following nearly three decades on the move.

The 56-year-old has witnessed his share of peril throughout the years. As part of his 36,000-mile Goliath Expedition, Karl has swum across the Caspian Sea and traversed the American and Asian continents.

Two specific adventures emerged when describing some of his most frightening encounters, reports the Mirror.
