A Norfolk rocket builder is hoping to reclaim the amateur rocket altitude record for the UK

Ben Jarvis has built 300 rockets since he was 15. And overseen about 2000 launches. But when a Dutch team broke his amateur rocket altitude record last year he knew he had to do something.

The British amateur altitude record set by Ben is 34,000 feet or 10 km. That was broken last year by a Dutch team who launched a rocket 71,000 feet (21km) in the air. Ben's new attempt will be to send it up 98,5000 feet (30km).He's crowdfunding for it and needs to raise £13,000. Redwells brewery are helping out and are brewing a beer made from hops that he sent thousands of metres into the air recently.
