Walkabout-Japan 2005

Our adventurer Detlev Henschel from Bremen (www.detlev-henschel.de) is going to be again on the way in a lonesome mission from 1st March. He is the man who paddled alone in a kayak 1,700 km around Lake Baikal in Siberia two years ago, who did 2,500 km from Flensburg to the Arctic Circle (in 2000) and who ran around with Bushmen in the desert Namib in 2004.

He will walk along Japan, a country he is very familiar with, from the south to the north (3,000 km). Henschel acts on his own maxim: minimalism and simplicity are the reasons to do it again without steady lodgings. To be closer to the nature, he will use as usual tent and backpack.

Daily, his experiences shall bee seen live in word and picture on his homepage (www.walkabout-japan.com). Moreover, this event can be admired in a coloured version of 1x 1.20 m as the "big diary" in the shop-window of "FOTO-BISCHOFF" in Bremen, Domsheide.

By the way, have you already heard that last year 90 people were torn to pieces by bears in Japan and that there can be up to 450 earthquakes daily? Please note that Henschel's second book "Adventure Baikal" (available everywhere in the bookselling trade) is also worth reading
(FAZ v 13.1.05).
