Long walks
Tyler MacNiven's walks 2,000 mile in five months from the bottom of Japan to the top to impress his Japanese girlfriend and find his father's birth place. Google has a video about it. Tyler also has his own web page.
Tyler was inspired by his girlfriend's father George Meegan who walked over 19,000 miles (30,431 km) between 1977-83 (7 years) from the southernmost tip of South America to the Arctic Ocean at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. It was also "the longest unbroken march of all time". He published a book called The Longest Walk.
Tyler MacNiven is travelling again, this time on the Amazing Race!
According to Guiness World Records the longest walk is by Arthur Blessitt of 55,524 km over 31 years since December 25th, 1969 crossing all 7 continents. I searched for George Meegan on guinnessworldrecords.com but found no mention of him.
