British explorers Karl Bushby and Dimitry Kieffer are back on track after Russian officials changed their mind about their expulsion for violating border crossing rules.

Bushby and Kieffer appealed the ruling by the Chukotka district court of April 14, on a 2,000-rouble fine and administrative expulsion which entails a five-year travel ban to Russia.

The travellers are still to pay a fine of 2 000 rubles (£40) to the Russian authorities, but they are let to continue their walk.

The 36 000-mile trip - called the Goliath Expedition - started in Chile in 1998. It is expected to take 12 years.
