Erik de Zwart, myself and Ronald Haanstra in front of the plane that will take us on our first of several legs, hopefully all around the world.
Update: We made it! We completed the cirvumnavigation of the globe in 56h56m, beating the previous record by 9h35m. Expect celebrations in Sydney this weekend.
Towards the end of our last world record attempt, we missed the last plane by 4 minutes, and any hope of a world record went out the window. A bit annoying, let’s say.
Little motivates more than failure, so here we fly again. The team is not exactly the same, but radio DJ and TV host Erik de Zwart and media mogul Ronald Haanstra are still on board. Which makes both of them flying Dutchmen.
The goal is the same as last time; To travel around the world, via all the six inhabited continents, faster than anyone else by scheduled transport.
The question is whether we will try the same route, or whether we have found better options. Our quest will commence in Sydney, Australia on January 31. The current record is 66 ours and 31 minutes (it was briefly listed as 63h47m, but that record must have been disqualified). In less than three days we need to also visit Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America – although not necessarily in that order – and return to where we started. And we are limited to scheduled airlines only, as it is one of the criteria for the record to be approved as a Guinness World Record.
And as our budget dictates it.
But it isn’t all fun and play. We are also raising money for The Simple Drinking Water Foundation that provides clean water technology to developing countries. Please check out their work.
The journey is GPS tracked, and you can follow our progress live here on garfors.com (tracking map below). We’ll use the hashtag #RecordRunWorld on Twitter and Instagram.
You can see our exact route by downloading this file and opening in Google Earth. We were tracked by GPS 2,857 times during our round the world trip.
hitclub hôm bữa mình thấy mấy đứa bạn nhắc hoài nên ghé thử cho biết, chủ yếu coi giao diện với cách họ trình bày thông tin thôi chứ mình không ngồi chơi lâu. Vào trang cái là thấy họ chia nội dung theo từng khối khá rõ, kéo xuống không bị rối mắt, mấy mục quan trọng nằm ngay chỗ dễ nhìn nên bấm qua lại cũng nhanh. Mình để ý nhất là đoạn nói về kiểm định RNG, họ ghi thẳng là có chứng chỉ từ iTech Labs với GLI nên đọc lướt cũng hiểu họ đang nhấn mạnh chuyện công bằng. Không kiểu giấu trong mấy trang con khó tìm, mà để ngay trong phần nội dung…
Wow, that's amazing! cookie clicker I remember trying to track my own adventures with a GPS while hiking last summer, but my phone died halfway through. It's wild how you mapped that journey!
https://tylebong88.com/ mình ghé thử cho biết vì thấy mấy ông bạn hay nhắc, chủ yếu xem bố cục với cách họ trình bày thôi. Vào trang cái thấy phần tiêu đề “Chào Mừng Đến WEbsite Của Chúng Tôi” đặt khá to và dễ nhìn nên đỡ phải mò. Mình thích kiểu họ chia nội dung thành mấy khối rõ ràng, lướt xuống là gặp ngay mấy ô dạng “Review / Visit” nhìn gọn gàng, biết là đang nói về mấy mục đánh giá nhà cái và khuyến mãi cơ bản. Không cần bấm lung tung mới thấy thông tin, nên hợp kiểu xem nhanh như mình. Nói chung giao diện không rối, chữ nghĩa cũng vừa đủ đọc. Nhìn tổng…
A lot of driving games focus only on speed, but Drive Mad free feels more skill-based. Small adjustments actually matter, especially on narrow platforms and uneven terrain.
The challenge was particularly difficult because the travelers had Melon playground game to visit all six inhabited continents and return to their starting point within an extremely limited timeframe while following strict Guinness World Record rules.
