My world walk blog China part two #30
Based on a Facebook post
Saturday was another uneventful day. Once again nothing to report from my 28-kilometre clip along Route 325.
Guangxi
province is one of five autonomous regions in China. These autonomous
regions have their own local governments and have more legislative
rights than other provinces.
Feeling a bit unmotivated I took Sunday off to catch up on some stuff.
I'm about two road days away from overtaking
Jean
Beliveau's 75,550-kilometre lifetime total of (VERIFIED and
scrutinised) expedition kilometres made by foot. Jean is currently in
second place and he did this on his eleven-year world walk. He is now
retired and living near Montreal. Earlier this year Masahito Yoshida
surpassed Jean's total before he clocked out in his native Japan with
77,500 amassed from a world walk and also a walk the full length of the
Americas. I understand he may return to the road but only after a very
long break. Perhaps I will have passed his total by then, let's see but I
hope he will still be there when I arrive in his hometown in a few
months time.
As regular readers will know the
distance of my world run was exactly 50,000 kilometres, and not a metre
more! I have walked 25,504 kilometres on this world walk so far. So
that's 75,504 for me.
