By David Young, PAA Limerick pensioner who says he has walked more than twice the circumference of the Earth is bidding for world record recognition. Vinod Bajaj, who walks on average 37km a day, has applied to Guinness World Records for the title of greatest cumulative distance walked solo. “I’ve done about 2,000 kilometres, more than twice around the Earth, so maybe I am the Forrest Gump of 2023 or the Forrest Gump of Limerick,” he said. Mr Bajaj expects to hear back from the world record adjudicators in the new year after they assess his application. “If they accept it, great, if they don’t accept it, I don’t mind – I did not walk for the Guinness World Record, I walk for myself,” he said.
