A man has claimed a new Guinness World Record for calling in the most pubs in one day.
Nathan Crimp set a new record when he visited 67 pubs in 17 hours. The previous record was held by Gareth Murphy who visited 56 pubs in just over 10 hours.
However, Nathan vowed to set a new target when he embarked on an epic 18 mile pub crawl at 11am yesterday morning. The recruitment account manager was joined by his two friends, Ollie and Archie, for the challenge and continued the pub crawl until 4am on Sunday morning.

He drank lager, beer and liqueur shots on the crawl and collected receipts and signatures from each pub attended. He branded the pub crawl as the "hardest thing" he's ever done.
The 22-year-old added: "It was easily the hardest thing I've ever done. I completely underestimated just how hard it was actually going to be.
"The plan was to try and keep it sober for the first 25 pubs, but that went out the window 15 pubs in. I had to mix it up a little bit, I tried to drink alcohol in one and non-alcoholic drink in another - trying to space it out.
"To drink that much liquid in such a short space of time - I must have packed away easily 20 to 30 litres. The hardest part was constantly having to go to the toilet, which took up the majority of the time.
"I've got to say a massive thank you to Ollie and Archie, who came round with me. They gave so much support, and it was as difficult for them as it was for me. From a liquid point of view it was easier, but they still did all the miles - coming pub to pub.
"And when I was too bloated to speak, it was them that would tell the pub about what we were doing. I wouldn't have been able to finish it without them, I probably wouldn't have got past pub 30 without them."
Nathan completed the pub crawl in his hometown of Brighton and took on the challenge to raise money for the Dog's trust. He adopted a Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Kara through the charity, but his pet had to be put to sleep in October 2020 after becoming ill with cancer.
He said: "Kara brought so much joy to our family and could never be replaced.
"Her smile, her nature, everything she contributed to our lives was something only a dog owner understands.
"Unfortunately, this isn't always the case and, since covid, dog shelters such at Dog's Trust have been overwhelmed with dogs now needing a home. This comes at a cost."
Nathan's GoFundMe, along with donations, have so far raised more than £460.
