LONDON: A 73-year-old man, born in Punjab and based in Ireland for nearly 50 years, is making a second go at a Guinness World Record for what he describes as his double Earth Walk, totalling over 80,000 kilometres and equivalent to double the circumference of the Earth. 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. Bajaj began his journey in August 2016 with a humble goal of losing some weight. His application with the Guinness World Record is currently under process as they assess if his walk covering twice the equivalent of the Earth’s circumference in 104.8 million steps over 2,637 days makes the cut.
