Ambling my way into the history books

On the way back from buying supplies for lunch #2 I came accross a group about to start The Giant Walk, an attempt to break the Guiness world record for the number of people walking at the same time. After thinking about it for a bit I decided my yogurt could wait and that I would feel like a right idiot if they either succeeded and I missed out, or they failed and I felt responsible.

So I signed my name and walked with a large group of people around a big park. (Very fuzzy) photos to come when I can get them off my phone. I was out of memory so kept having to winnow them on the fly!

This is actually the second time I've accidentally wandered into a record breaking attempt. The first was when I went to the first annual Basendean fair which I happened to notice out of a train window, and ended up taking part in the World's largest wobble board ensemble(*). (Bassendean is the home of Rolf Harris)

(*)Although thinking back, I may have ended up going home before they got around to it. I certainly entered the art competitiion, though I think I ended up throwing the painted wobble board away due to sheer ugliness.
