Songs from Disney's Tarzan inspire kayak record-breakers
DISNEY tunes, cheers from supporters and fierce determination ensured that a Guernseyman and his UK friend broke the world record in their Loch Ness tandem kayak challenge.
Former Elizabeth College student James Reilly, and Ted Simpson,pictured, both 21, achieved the momentous feat in 4 hours 43 minutes 43 seconds after nine months of training.
The previous best time to cross the 35km of Loch Ness, which is the largest body of water in the UK, was five hours 19 minutes.
Mr Reilly, who is studying medicine at the University of Bristol, said: 'We made a playlist before which we both listened to and Disney songs, particularly the ones from Tarzan for some reason, worked really well for motivation.
'Foo Fighters and The Black Keys were also great.'
