Summary

Dr Barbara Moore, the marathon mile mutilating marcher, found the competition too stiff when she and members of the Parachute Regiment set out to smash the world non-stop walking record. She gave up after 80 miles. But Staff Sergeant Louis Gibson kept going. He covered 16.9 miles [sic] in 42 hours, 20 minutes - a new record.
