Patrick Shalvey is going backwards to go forwards on Wednesday morning.

Shalvey is attempting to reverse the 21km from Lisgrey House in Virginia to Poles, just outside Cavan town. He’s bound to have a stiff neck after that.

Why is he doing such a thing?

Well, it’s attempt to break a Guinness World Record to help promote the new series of RTÉ’s Big Week on the Farm. The Shalvey family is hosting it this year.
