Walking America
A real American hero.
Spare a though for poor old Ian, this guy is walking from the very southern tip of south america to the top of Alaska - i met him in Peru, he had been walking 3 and a half years. He pushes a cart instead of carrying a rucksack!!
Here are some factoids from his journey so far!!
- as of the 25th of may, 2006 he has walked 8,285 km or 5,148 miles…let’s not ponder how much he has have left, ok?
- at about 1,200 steps per km, he has taken more or less 9,942,000 footsteps so far.
- he has walked in 4 countries so far: Chile ,Argentina ,Bolivia, Peru
- he is on his 7th pair of shoes.
