On this day in 1948 Barnsley 'the lad' Plumstead became the first man to walk a vole from Lands End to John O'Groats. The vole sadly died from exhaustion at some point near Truro in Cornwall, but Plumpstead was undeterred and bravely dragged the voles rotting carcass the rest of the distance using a system of pulleys with a sock, strategically placed to catch any bits that fell off.
