Dale Taylor, from Caerphilly, Wales, is going to attempt to break a World record by almost half, starting this August.
Dale, who is a semi-professional rugby player, plans to walk around the world! The trip covers 18,000 miles, which he plans to complete in 800 days.
The current world record is held by David Kunst, who, in 1970 took four years and four months to complete the walk.
The trip will cost Dale £8,000, based on £10 per day. He aims to raise £18,000 in total to cover travel costs and to donate £10,000 to the school where he works. Miles are being sold for £1 each and you can buy a mile for Dale at his website
Toward the Sunrise.
Dale will have to walk through:
Wales, England, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakahstan, Uzabekistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Burma, Malaysia, Australia and the USA. The walk will require Dale to walk a marathon a day for over 2 years.
We wish Dale the best of luck and will be cheering him on to complete the task in the 800 days! Good luck Dale!
