Danny Baker Record Breaker (5): The World's Itchiest Pants - Plot & Excerpts
It has the biggest domed wigwam in Wales: ‘The Wygol-y-wigwam’. It is 21 m high at the centre and has a circumference of 135 m. The ancient game of Twytty-knocker Grabbing is only played in Phwllwygol-y-wig, because that is the only place where you find the Tallypant Twytty. This is a rare breed of Welsh mountain sheep, who has a right leg shorter than its left leg, so that it can walk straight across the steep mountain hillsides without falling over. However, it can only go in one direction, because as soon as it turns round, it does fall over. Local farmers use the twytty-knocker to drive the sheep backwards across the mountain so they can begin grazing again. The world record for grabbing the sticks is seventy-three, by Champion Twytty-knocker Grabber Olwyn Humphries of Abersoch, so your attempt was an excellent one, but well short of the best. Enjoy your stay in Wales, Danny. Best wishes Eric Bibby Keeper of the Records ‘Look at the size of that wigwam!’ said Danny, peering through the window as the coach pulled to a halt in a forest clearing that was the Phwllwygol-y-wig Adventure Centre.
