Description

Ivan Little reports from Lisburn for Good Evening Ulster on an unusual record attempt. Willie Nugent had already featured on the news setting a record for eating ice lollipops. More recently, he failed in an attempt to set a record for eating baked beans, but he has emerged from that setback undeterred and determined to set a different record by crawling for six miles. 

Hoping to raise funds for charity he is counted down by local schoolchildren. Belfast comedian Sammy Mackie is by his side to sweep the pavements in front of him and keep them clear of sharp objects as Willie, with pads on his hands and knees, gets down to his crawling.
