[edit] Walking to England?

How exactly can he walk to England? Is it possible to walk through the Chunnel?

[edit] Speed variation?

If he started in 1998 and has done 17000 miles by 2006 (8 years) this is an average of 6 miles a day - plausible given days of rest and mountains etc. However why do the remaining 19000 miles only take him 3 years - an average of 17 miles a day. What is different about asia compared to America? -- SGBailey 13:17, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

He isn't actually going all the way around the world (from point A back to point A); instead he is going from south end of South America to England. I guess the atlantic is not part of the world?

He isn't traveling every day, and in fact is not ONLY traveling on foot. Rather, it appears he is doing the trail in pieces with portions in between where he may fly/drive somewhere else. -- Fool 5 May 2006

Are you sure about that? Nothing on his webpage seems to indicate that he's using animal or vehicular transportation. I'm not sure why Asia and Europe would take a lot faster, but one assumption would be that trekking through the mountains and jungles of South/Central America, and the frigid, icy landscape of North America and Siberia (where roads are also relatively poor) would take a lot longer and be a lot more exhausting than walking through the relatively flat landscape of Central Asia and Europe. This is only an assumption though. 12:30, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merging?

Someone (or, rather, User:Sonjaaa and [User:SGBailey]]) suggested that Goliath Expedition be merged into here. The tag has been in place for over a month and there has been no discussion - as thus, I'm merging them. Woohoo! --Jobjörn (talk) 12:29, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
