Court Ends Briton’s Round-the-World Trip
From Times Wire Reports
A British adventurer’s attempt to walk around the world was in jeopardy after a Russian court ordered him deported for entering the country illegally.
Russian officials told Karl Bushby he would not be permitted to return for at least five years, a development that would end his quest, said Bushby’s father, Keith.
Keith Bushby said his son would appeal. Karl Bushby, 37, has walked 17,000 miles since he began his trip on Nov. 1, 1998.
He was detained after crossing the frozen Bering Strait.
