Eamonn Hickson from Kerry is hoping to set a new world record over the August Bank Holiday, as he is aiming to break the record for the ‘Longest journey reversing a tractor & trailer’.

Now, you might be surprised to hear that such a record exists in the first place, but according to the folk at Guinness World Records it does and the current target stands at a surprisingly long 15km (9.32mi).

Here’s a look at what Guinness World Records had to say about Eamonn’s attempt…

So, if you’re down in the Dingle area on Saturday then make sure to head out to Dingle Mart from 2.30pm to see Eamonn attempting to break the World Record. Don’t forget to head over to the Guinness World Record Annascaul Beerfest 2014 Facebook page from more info.
