Telegraph, 27 Dec 2020
Vinod Bajaj from Limerick in the west of Ireland has walked 24,900 miles over the past four years without ever leaving his home city.
Now, the 70-year-old is hoping to get into the Guinness Book of Records for his feat, which is the equivalent to walking the circumference of the earth.
The married father-of-one began his Earth Walk in 2016 with the aim of losing weight, never considering the distance he would walk.
Mr Bajaj ended up walking up to 31 miles a day.
He joked that his next goal will be to walk the circumference of Neptune, a whopping 100,000 miles.
