Retired grandfather breaks Australian record with 120-pub crawl in just 24 hours
A retired 69-year-old man named David Clarkson recently made history by visiting 120 pubs in just 24 hours. This incredible feat earned him a spot in the Guinness World Record books. Originally from Britain, Clarkson has been living in Australia for over four decades. He decided to embark on this record-breaking attempt by starting at the Captain Cook Hotel in Sydney.
Over the next day, Clarkson walked to 119 more establishments, ordering a drink at each one. To ensure the validity of his record, Guinness World Records Adjudicator Pete Fairbairn joined him for the beginning and end of his journey. During the middle portion of his pub crawl, other witnesses accompanied Clarkson to collect evidence for Fairbairn to review later.
In the end, Clarkson reached the Sussex Garden Bar, where Fairbairn officially certified his record. This impressive feat allowed Clarkson to take the title from Australians Harry Kooros and Jake Loiterton, who had previously visited 99 pubs in 24 hours. Overall, Clarkson’s determination and perseverance allowed him to make history in a unique and memorable way.
