…. although still to be confirmed by the good folks at Guinness World Records.

Last Sunday, 25 November 2012, armed with my 50mm lens, I took my family along to Lyall Bay Beach, Wellington, to see Adventure Wellington (www.adventurewellington.co.nz), with support from the important people and associates from Weta Workshop, set out to break the Guinness World Record for the most sandcastles built in one hour. Over 3000 people came together on sunny Lyall Bay Beach to break the record and it looks like they did it with 1523 sandcastles passing the required grade. Yay Wellington. A very enjoyable event for my family, friends and I – thank you.

Importantly, the Neonatal Trust (www.neonataltrust.org.nz) got to raise funds from this event to support the neonatal units around New Zealand. A fantastic cause!
