The intention was to walk around and around the heath - a thousand miles in a thousand hours - and attracted a huge number of spectators. The walk was not completed because the authorities, fearing a riot, arrested George. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, pedestrianism was a popular spectator sport. Interest has waned, although it is still an Olympic sport.

He failed because the authorities charged him with disturbing the peace because of the crowds that followed him. Although he was acquitted his arrest made the feat impossible, so he lost the prize, but a collection at the London Stock Exchange matched the £100 within two hours.
