The Guinness Book of Records

To bring you up to date as regards my application to the Guinnes I am appealing against this dission as driving a power chair is totally different to driving a power scooter. In addition, there is a big difference between 1600 miles and 1000 miles. I will let you know their verdict

The current record (current as at the date of this letter) is:John Duckworth (UK) travelled 2,662.8 km (1654.6 miles) around mainland UK on a Horizon Mayan electric mobility scooter between 20 June 2004 and 27 July 2004, finishing in Hincaster, Cumbria, UK.
