I think 10000 might be stretching it a bit Simon but I'll try and hang in there. As for Polish whip makers, must be in the blood.

I hope so Bernie :D Thought you may be interested to see the below picture. At the weekend I caught up with Gary Brophy from Sunrise Circus and you will see me holding a 160ft stockwhip with Gary looking on. This is a real whip! As far as I know it's the longest plaited (proper) whip in the world. If not, it's at least the longest leather one.
Kind Regards
