MEMBERS of the Bude Surf Boat Club are celebrating after setting a new World Record.

The eight-strong, all female team are set to enter the record books after scaling the equivalent of Mount Everest on the specialist Versaclimber Sport climbing machine. Together, they climbed 8,848m in 2hr 13min and 27sec, beating the previous record by just over 32 minutes.

A crowd of friends and family, as well as a group of independent witnesses gathered at the Aspire Fitness Pod in Bude to watch the record attempt and cheer on the team.
