Known for his numerous long-distance walking records, Bert has set off from London to undertake a remarkable round Britain walk. Accompanied by a cyclist who will accompany him throughout his entire journey, Bert's mission is to traverse England and Scotland. Starting his adventure at the iconic Press Association Reuter building in Fleet Street, Bert exudes confidence as he takes his first steps towards what promises to be an arduous yet fulfilling expedition. His face portrays determination and resilience, ready to conquer any challenges that lie ahead. Bert's route will take him along the picturesque south coast until he reaches Land's End before turning northwards along the rugged West Coast towards John O'Groats. From there, he will make his way back down through the East Coast until finally returning triumphantly to London. This photograph captures not only a moment in history but also showcases human strength and endurance. It serves as a reminder of our innate desire for exploration and pushing boundaries. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at Bert Couzens' audacity and admire his unwavering commitment to conquering new frontiers on foot.
