Posted in Jeremy Burfoot will attempt to break a world record by travelling from London to New Zealand using his jet ski.
According to reports, the New Zealander will be travelling using a jet ski for up to twelve hours per day over a four month period as he goes the distance from the European city to his homeland.
The 51-year old airline pilot has been riding jet skis for more than ten years and considers it his favorite hobby when not flying passenger jets. He will make it to the history books should he manage to complete this great feat, travelling a total distance of 32,000 kilometers.
He will be accompanied by four men, two of which will ride jet skis beside him during the duration of their challenge. Their jet skis will have advanced technical equipment to document the route of travel, as well as being stocked with the basic necessities, like food and camping accessories.
Burfoot will start from the River Thames outside the London’s Houses of Parliament. He begins his travels on August 1, 2010. Follow his journey on Twitter!
