I was googling to see if Mark’s World Record was mentioned anywhere else and came across the official Guinness announcements for the week of 16th to 22nd February 2008.
Amongst them all is Mark Beaumont of course, but see what other weird records were broken that week.
“Farthest ear sling-shot”
“Largest biryani”
“Tallest stack of pancakes”
Bizarre isn’t it that something as vast as “Fastest circumnavigation by bicycle, true” sits amongst these other odd things.
