The history of retro walking stretches back to 1817, but became headline news in 1931 when Texan, Plennie Wingo, attempted to walk around the world backwards. He still holds the walking backwards record of 8.000 miles. In 1976, British Lindsay Dodd, set off from Leeds and walked backwards to Kendal, completing a record distance of 80 miles in 24 hours.
