First man in history to travel from Land's End to John O'Groats - in a WHEELCHAIR

  • 5 years ago
An athlete has become the first man in history to travel from Land's End to John O'Groats - in a wheelchair. Anthony Gotts even smashed a world record on the grueling 900 mile journey - as he completed the task in just 20 days. He beat the previous record set by electric wheelchair user Martyn Sibley in 30 days. Manual wheelchair user Anthony, 32, was injured during a double decathlon event in Finland in 2007, where he suffered a broken pelvis, slipped disk and snapped leg muscles - leaving him unable to walk more than a few steps.
