Punjab-born Irish man aims for Guinness record with double 'Earth Walk'
The Business Guardian
|November 20, 2023
A 73-year-old man who was born in Punjab and has lived in Ireland for almost 50 years is attempting to set a new Guinness World Record for what he calls his "double Earth Walk," which would require walking more than 80,000 kilometers, or twice the diameter of the planet.
-
Vinod Bajaj submitted his application for the "greatest cumulative distance walked solo on foot" last week, having beaten his own walking record by completing the second Earth Walk in 1,114 days, 382 fewer days than the first walk completed in September 2020.
"My wife June was not very happy about my long walks everyday as she felt I was doing too much and worried that it could be counterproductive to my health," shares Bajaj, from his home city of Limerick in Ireland.
