November 2021. We have more planned for 2022. For some we need 6 volunteers, but for one of these we’ll need 200 people, and we hope to stage this at an agricultural show in the Summer of 2022.

radio DJ (team) show. The record was broken at 8.30 on 18th March 2011 by Moyles and on-air partner Dave Vitty, aka 'Comedy Dave', when they passed the 51.5-hour mark. In May 2011, Vixen 101 presenters, Bill Horncastle and Dave Henderson set a new world record by presenting a 53-hour-long radio show, beating the record set by Chris Moyles of Radio 1 by one hour. What is it like to do a 60-hour radio show? I asked my copresenter Kaptain Mounsey who joined me in the Eden FM radio studio on Wednesday 25th August for an 8am start, and presented a show with me until 8pm on Friday 27th August 2021. Kathy (the Kaptain) Mounsey “Doing the 60 hour Radiothon was an amazing experience! It was brilliant for me to be back in the studio and being live after so long. It was great to catch up with the team and have lots of them in to present with us and keep us going. The support from everyone was amazing and I think we'd both agree we couldn't have done it without them. The late night and early morning ramblings with Lee were definitely a highlight and I honestly didn't know I could stay awake so long! Massive thank you to Lee for asking me to be part of it.” From an idea in July, to a 60 hour non-stop radio show over 4 days, hold that thought! It’s not a world record. What might have set out to have been another crazy idea, with an inspirational team of people in support and an individual equally and in fact madder than
As a business, if you would like to be a sponsor or to get involved in a World Record attempt, please contact us now.

Well, that’s obvious, but why have a crack at one record when together with local groups, organisations, societies and clubs we can attempt more. Eden FM have identified more than one record we would like to attempt between now and Autumn 2022, and we could do with some help from you. All attempts require adjudicators, just like in a school exam. For one attempt we need 240 hours adjudicated, but from as young as 4 years old upwards, we need people from Penrith, Appleby and across the Eden Valley to register with us now, either to take part or to raise funds for their organisation as an adjudicator. We are currently hoping to attempt our first record in 17
With regards to the Monopoly idea, we are still discussing this with the UK licensee, however, time doesn’t stand still and we are now designing a unique board game that we can have produced in the UK, which if trialled in Cumbria as a Cumberland and Westmorland board game, it can be reproduced across the UK. Just another crazy idea I suppose….. if your business is interested in this project, please contact us to express an interest.
