The Goliath Expedition

12 years, 36,000 miles, 4 continents, 25 countries, crossing a frozen sea, 6 deserts, 7 mountain ranges



Karl in Anguema

By the 28th August, Karl will have made his way to Anguema, a small village north of Egvekinot, by a series of boat trips and flights. As Karl is taking a more northerly summer route for the present, it will be easier to start at Anguema. Being a village he passed through on the last leg, he can start there without breaking the expedition’s golden rule, (no advancement of the actual expedition route by any other means than walking / swimming). As there are no roads and its summer Karl can use neither his trailer nor sled so will have to backpack all of his equipment across country. With the great distances involved, his dehydrated rations will have to be sent ahead to towns along the route. The general administration up to this point has been a trial but hopefully most of that is behind it us for the time being and Karl can get down to doing what he does best…. walking home.

    I hope Karl will be able to keep walking continuously from here onwards, right up to the English Channel. Looking forward to further entries.

    Karl,
    I just read your book, ‘Giant Steps’ and recommend it highly to everyone interested in your life and what you have accomplished so far.

    Great to hear you are treking again. Best of luck for the coming winter. We are rooting for you.
