]Paul Salopek: Going for a seven-year walk
 By Robin Banerji BBC World Service
Paul Salopek


US journalist Paul Salopek is going to spend the next seven years walking from Ethiopia to the tip of South America, retracing the journey of early humans out of Africa and around the world.
Along the way he will be writing articles, shooting video and tweeting.
Salopek will take some 30 million footsteps during this journey, which he calls "the long walk into our becoming". So there is a lot of potential for blisters.
But he insists he is not doing this as some kind of extreme sport - he will be thinking hard, en route, about human evolution.
Middle Stone Age.

But is it really long distance walking, with all suggested weeks or months of breaks :-\ 

Nearly there

Perhaps we should start a book on how many pairs of boots he will go through ;)
