Carriage Pulled Across Hungary
A man has pulled a carriage across Hungary in an effort to prove his strength.
The 59-year-old wanted to prove to his friends that he was still as strong as in his youth and claimed he was as strong as a horse.
To demonstrate this, Laszlo Aranyi made an epic journey across his homeland pulling the carriage behind him.
Taking 22 days, Mr Aranyi pulled the 66-stone carriage from Zahony, in the east of Hungary, to Szombathely on the country's western border.
The epic journey was followed by a friend of Mr Aranyi, who stayed up with him on a bicycle to ensure Mr Aranyi was safe and presumably to make sure that Mr Aranyi did not take any short-cuts!
"I felt worried about turning 60 and I wanted to prove that I was still fit and strong," explained Mr Aranyi.
"The only hard part was getting up the hills and balancing the carriage on the way down," he added.
