00:00I've done endurance all my life. I run my own business, which is endurance in itself,

00:04doing like 19, 20 hour days. I used to do endurance rallying as well, all over Europe.

00:09Doing things for long periods of time is what I do. I had a malignant melanoma taken off my ear.

00:13I've been cancer-free for about 18 months. It's tiring, as expected, but yeah, I'm very happy

00:19with the progress, happy with where we're going. We're on course to break the record, so it's all

00:23good. It's been something that he's been wanting to do for a long time, when he was up in Scotland,

00:29but he's a man that's known for doing various kind of feats of endurance, and as being an archer,

00:36this was going to be one of his latest endurance events. Archery GB coaches have to be here to

00:43count the arrows. We have to have double witnesses, double coaches, and it has to be filmed, so

00:50everything has to be recorded almost in triplicate. In order to meet the number of points set by

00:57Guinness World Records, which is 11,175 points, he would need to score every hour 466. Every hour so far,

01:08he has hit round about 700, but one hour where he had a 15-minute break, and that was in the 400s.
