A GARDENER spent his weekend braving the freezing conditions to smash a lawn mowing world record.
Jody Fassinger, head gardener at Christchurch-based Hants and Dorset Gardening Ltd, more than doubled the distance covered continuously pushing a mower over a 24-hour period.
Starting at 7.45am on Saturday at Kings Park’s Athletics Centre, Jody topped the previous milestone of 41km by travelling a staggering 92.7km.
Jody’s wife May said: “The target was only 41km so I knew he was going to achieve it, but what he actually completed is amazing - we really underestimated him.”
