This wording leaves out an important qualifier.

Guinness World Records says the first verified circumnavigation by walking was completed by David Kunst (USA) from 20 June 1970 to 5 October 1974. That means Bushby cannot accurately be described as trying to become the first person, full stop, to circumnavigate the world on foot.

Recent BBC coverage describes Bushby’s actual goal more narrowly: to become the first person to complete an unbroken round-the-world walk and to complete the longest unbroken path in human history. In other words, Bushby’s claim to uniqueness is about the unbroken/no-transport nature of the route, not about being the first person ever to walk around the world.

So the post is misleading because it drops the key qualifier and overstates what would be first about Bushby’s expedition.
