On Sunday, November 7, he broke the world record as the oldest hiker to complete the Appalachian Trail.

Meredith J. Eberhart, who people on the trail also know as "Nimblewill Nomad," said that, even though he has walked tens of thousands of kilometers, the trail was still challenging at his age.  

In an article on egoo.com, he started the hike in February at his home in Flagg Mountain, Alabama, adding hundreds of extra kilometers to the usual 3,530 kilometer-long trail from Georgia's Springer Mountain to Katahdin in Maine.
