Why?

"We had no idea how the attempt would go, but to get more than a thousand people involved is brilliant. It is a real achievement."

Some times I have to wonder who comes up with these Ideals.

More than a thousand people helped to smash the official world record for the number of people dressed as Robin Hood in one place at one time. Record breakers clad in tights and tunics gathered at Nottingham Castle to pay tribute to the city's most famous outlaw.  A total of 1116 people took part, almost double the previous world record of 606.
