Molly Weaver successfully breaks British coastline world record
Former professional cyclist Molly Weaver has successfully broken the world record for the fastest circumnavigation of the British coastline, completing the feat in 21 days, 10 hours and 48 minutes.
Weaver is the first woman to hold the record after cutting 17 hours off the previous time set by Nick Sanders way back in 1984. Setting off from London on 15 June, the 31-year-old was raising money for the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution), riding clockwise around the English, Welsh and Scottish coastlines. By the time she returned to London on 6th July, Weaver had raised over £10,000, with donations still coming in.
Escape Collective's Jonny Long spoke to Weaver in advance of the epic challenge – you can read and/or listen to her story here.
