\n George Kohler, who served for 27 years in the British military before starting a chimney sweeping business, was handed two of the certificates.\n<\/p>\n
\n Mr Kohler said: “I haven\u2019t got enough arms.”\n<\/p>\n
\n During their 400-day journey, the duo climbed 180,000 metres \u2013 the equivalent of 20 ascents of Mount Everest \u2013 and burned an average of 4,000 calories each day.\n<\/p>\n
\n They set off in March last year, crossing Europe, Asia, Australia, and South America before returning home.\n<\/p>\n
\n Partway through the trip, George reflected on the kindness they had experienced.\n<\/p>\n
\n He said: “It\u2019s really restored our faith in humanity.”\n<\/p>\n
