Manx kayaking record beaten after 11 years

A Manx kayaking record has been shattered, 11 years after it was set. 

Douglas Glaisher managed to paddle around the UK from Norfolk in just 67 days as he raised funds for a diabetes charity.

His achievement smashed the record set by Port St Mary man Joe Leach, who completed the epic task in 72 days.

Joe also finished the 1,800-mile journey five days quicker than the previous record-holder in 2012.
