Van returns home after epic drive around the world
A Shropshire couple have completed their four-and-a-half year trip around the world in a 20-year-old camper van called Trudy.
Chris and Marianne Fisher, whose Tread the Globe YouTube channel has had 28 million views, left Ironbridge in January 2020 and returned there after visiting 29 countries and travelling 66,000 miles.
Family and friends greeted the pair as they arrived in Ironbridge on Sunday afternoon.
They had returned to the UK last month, but Trudy had to travel home on a container ship from Durban in South Africa to Southampton.
After passing an MOT test in Hampshire, the Fiat Ducato was driven up the M5, meeting supporters of Tread The Globe at motorway services along the way.
