He is NOT the first Brit. He is the first PERSON. You have not ran the length unless you’ve gone from the most northern and southern points

First living being is probably right. Birds fly further, but what animal walks the entire length of Africa?

@Freespeechassassin Месяц назад

Only first since records began as we wouldn’t know if someone did it before that.

They said that because it turns out he wasn't the first person. Once the story got big it came out that at least 1, maybe 3 people had done this before. He was the fastest, he took the longest route, but he almost certainly wasn't the first.

@HolyCodzta 2 месяца назад

Not just the first Brit but also the first human! Others have run from South Africa to Cairo which is obviously also insane but this was the first time anyone's run from the most southerly point to the most northerly point of Africa, and that deserves its own recognition.

Why no link to the Charity Fundraising page? Surely that should be in the description to this video? I know Russ mentions it in the clip but surely GMB should add the link to enable people to donate.

@shaun2239 2 месяца назад

Ridiculous how they're asking about the next challenge. The man has just completed the length of africa a few days ago, a huge, monumental undertaking. Its not even been a week, lets talk about Africa

If you think about it he's done nothing but work considering the amount of revenue he's generated. If anything he's in sales and works more than everyone else. He had to get his own sponsors, not an easy task.
