Camcorder?
Is it essential to have a camcorder to hand whilst doing the challenge? My one is old and not much good now.
Current best: 19:51:10 (2014). Hopefully that will be broken in 2018

Re: Camcorder?
But is it essential to get some video proof if one was to set a new record?

Video proof is not essential, but useful evidence. A couple of photos with date-logs, a log of arrival and departure times for each station and witness statements will be required.andytube wrote:But is it essential to get some video proof if one was to set a new record?

Re: Camcorder?
I was planning on purchasing one of the newer, lighter, more battery efficient camcorders, but just lost my job, so that purchase is on hold for now.
Will take loads of photos with the time/date stamp turned on. Although come to think about it, I can't see how to turn that function on (over to Google....).

Re: Camcorder?
At the end of the day, it's the same as anything that requires proof; being in court, for example.
As long as you can provide a cromulent account of events, and back it up with evidence to prove it, then you should be believed. I imagine that Guinness would work on a more civil system of evidence, so if they can be 51% sure (on the balance of probabilities) that you've done it, that should be enough to tip the scales in your favour.

Re: Camcorder?
Personally, I believe that Guinness should use the criminal burden of proof criterion, i.e. beyond all reasonable doubt. I suspect in practice they use neither, but instead their own garbled assessment of what is required.snudge27 wrote:At the end of the day, it's the same as anything that requires proof; being in court, for example.
