Requesting edit to Adventures Section (sub-heading: Around the World)

[edit]

Drew Gehring (talk) 19:43, 7 September 2015 (UTC)At the bottom of the paragraph in the sub-heading section: "Around the World" it is stated that: "The British adventurer Jason Lewis, claims that Angus' journey was not a circumnavigation, because it did not pass through two antipodal points on the globe, although this is not required by Guinness World Records [9]." Jason Lewis is on record (National Geographic Adventure, March 2006 issue; see link: <http://www.expedition360.com/press_room/clippings_arabian_sea/76_nat_geo.pdf>) stating that "Since Angus and Wafaei's route neither crossed into the Southern Hemisphere nor reached a pair of antipodal points, they did not accomplish a true circumnavigation." The key difference between what the article states Jason Lewis of saying and what he actually stated is that Lewis includes in his statement that a true circumnavigation requires crossing into the southern hemisphere, which is a requirement listed in the currently cited Guinness rules of human circumnavigation (cited in the article as citation #: [9].[reply]

The current statement would be most representative of Lewis's actual statement and of Guinness's requirements of human powered circumnavigation if it was worded as follows: "The British adventurer Jason Lewis claims that the Angus' Journey was not a true human powered circumnavigation because the Angus expedition did not cross into the Southern Hemisphere nor reach a pair of antipodal points on the globe [1]. The crossing of the equator is required by the Guinness World Records for consideration as a human powered circumnavigation [2]." Drew Gehring (talk) 19:43, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
