Man completes John O'Groats to Land's End route in wheelchair
By Clara Bullock and Mark CummingsA man has completed a challenge to travel from John O'Groats to Land's End in what is believed to be the world's first Formula 1 modified wheelchair.
Engineers put lithium batteries into the 38-year-old's wheelchair and took out 70kg of weight to "be faster and go further" and allow him to travel 60 miles or more on a single charge."There were many times during this challenge when I thought 'this is it', because my chair decided not to work three times," Mr Stanton-Wharmby told BBC Radio Gloucestershire.
Mr Stanton-Wharmby said that completing the challenge, in which he travelled about 874 miles , had been difficult.
