THE Fifth Dimension gym, Stroud, set a new Guinness World Record on Sunday by pulling an Eddie Stobart truck for a gruelling mile in nine minutes and 27 seconds.

Eleven teams made up of 15 people took part in the challenge to raise money for three local charities, including Action for Children, British Heart Foundation and Fallen Fusiliers.

Crowds were entertained with live music from 2013 X factor runner-up Nicholas McDonald, as well as Emily Middlemas, Liberty and others.
