32 rides in one day are actually quite much and an reasonable achievement.--[[User:Korn|Korn]] ([[User talk:Korn|talk]]) 05:29, 21 September 2015 (CEST)
 
The record 32 is very easy to break, you only have to hit the road for 24hrs with the purpose of doing it, and I expect that it can be done in just a few hours if you just pick the right spot and hitch back and forth every time 1 km (e.g. between traffic lights or busstops). I don't mind it's inclusion that much. --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] ([[User talk:Fverhart|talk]]) 10:23, 21 September 2015 (CEST)
"Further reference" makes sense to me in this article and can stay.
Actually listing all the times from each year is not a record at all. Furthermore i still dont think anyone is interested in it. If you want to keep it, then keep the actual record time. But for a general overview in this article, i would exclude all records that are regarding to a specific route, just because it is getting too much and you can theoretically put and route in it, you want.--[[User:Korn|Korn]] ([[User talk:Korn|talk]]) 05:29, 21 September 2015 (CEST)
 
The GBOR hitchhiking records were top of the pops in the pre-internet times, times when hitch-hiking was a tad less of a society-marginal activity and hence these records deserve a lot of respect. Land's End to John O Goats was then true such thing that hitch-hikers would like to beat in order to be recorded in the new edition of the GBOR. If we every would like to see hitch-hiking records come back to the GBOR, I think we should at least keep them in here! --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] ([[User talk:Fverhart|talk]]) 10:23, 21 September 2015 (CEST)
The 24 hour entry of you Robert is included in the new list. No need to have it twice in the article. I furthermore don´t see a point to just copy paste the old article under the new one. Maybe you want to explain your intention with this edit. :)
