Branson hits Hayling Island for record attempt
The Virgin boss will join more than 250 others in Hayling on Sunday for the attempt at the largest number of kitesurfers to complete a one-mile course – and raise money for charity at the same time.
The Armada will set off from beach opposite Hayling Island Golf Club, off Links Lane at around 10.30am, depending on the weather.
