Overview
- Tom Christopher carried a bathtub to the 886m summit of Pen y Fan on Thursday 16 July in an attempt to set a 'world's highest bath' record and filmed the stunt for social media.
- He left the tub on the peak for about 48 hours and had asked visitors to bring river water to fill it, with the video receiving rapid online attention.
- Members of Cardiff Rugby Academy found the tub roughly 24 hours after it was placed and carried it down during a volunteer day because they believed it had been dumped.
- National Trust rangers later told Christopher the bathtub had been crushed and said the object posed risks to visitors and the site's conservation value.
- Christopher apologised, said the stunt cost him £400 and that he had planned to retrieve the tub, while some locals called for fines for fly-tipping though no formal enforcement has been reported.
