Two British Airways pilots have pedalled to a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title after successfully cycling non-stop across seven countries in just 24 hours.
The record-breaking pilots now hold the team title for ‘Most countries visited by bicycle in 24 hours’. They departed from Croatia at 12:18 pm local time on October 1, 2016 and ended their journey in Poland at 11:18 am the next day.
The flying First Officers, James Van Der Hoorn from Cambridge who lives in Clapham and Thomas Reynolds from Tring, Hertfordshire who lives in Brighton, both 28 years-old, managed to clock up more than 300 miles during the challenge which saw them pass through Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, Austria, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Poland.
The pair fly from Gatwick and Heathrow to five of these countries in their roles as Airbus 320 short-haul pilots for British Airways, which allowed them to train on some of the actual sections of the route leading up to the challenge.
The pilots are aiming to raise at least £5,000 for Flying Start, the global charity partnership between British Airways and Comic Relief which helps children living incredibly tough lives around the world.
Donations can be made until January 2, 2017 through this link.

Wow! Stunning! Hilton seems to be taking Africa by storm. Just a couple of years back, they opened the first ever in Eswatini.
Wonderful event and topics discussed, hopefully we see the manifestations in our African airline businesses in the nearest future. Kudos to you all.
