The Guinness World Records record ride route (see map), encompassing 16 individual stages (each one forms a letter that makes up the slogan ‘End Modern Slavery’), will start in Manchester, traversing the counties of Lancashire, Cheshire, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. It will then travel south, crisscrossing Shropshire, the West and East Midlands and East Anglia. The route will then navigate the southwest, before negotiating Somerset, Hampshire and the home counties to conclude in Central London. The aim is for the formal Guinness World Records record certificate presentation to take place on 18 October, International Anti-Slavery Day, in Westminster, SW1P. National broadcast media and press will be invited to the presentation.
