LONDON, Feb. 4 (UPI) -- A London hospital worker says he was so determined to get to work this week that he walked 18 miles during a blizzard.

Radiographer Peter Cartwright said his 54-mile journey from his home in the county of Kent to Guy's Hospital in London took him eight-and-a-half hours to complete, The Daily Mail said Wednesday.

That's dedication, and it must be a very great place to work if he was willing to make that trip!

Presumably as he'd spent a whole working day walking to work he turned right round and walked home again! That's crazy!
