Charity world-record attempt halted due to potholes

A man, who survived a bungee-jumping accident, halted his world-record attempt after pulling a 1.5-tonne van for nine hours.

Mike Land, from Swindon, pulled the vehicle for 10.5 miles (13km) but needed to beat 32 miles (51.5km) in 24 hours over flat ground.

He started the attempt at Down Ampney airfield on 4 October but had to stop on Saturday when potholes on the airfield became too challenging.

Mr Land, who is raising money for Wiltshire Air Ambulance, said he will look for a new venue to try again.
