The Keynote
Nearly three decades of one unbroken walk, told in person. Clear terms, simple booking, no theatrics.
Why Now
Karl reached Britain after swimming the English Channel on 5 October 2026. At the landing, approximately 400 km remained to Hull. Bring the story of his journey to your room.
What he brings is specific: the rules that have held since 1998, the borders and winters and years the route barely moved, and the daily decision to keep going. Audiences leave with a working definition of staying power.
