Guinness or RRA? *Record, not Ale

I'm toying with the idea of designing a place to place timed cycling challenge, specifically Bristol to Bangor, about 300 km, a Welsh End to End retracing much of a famous Audax route. Probably 10 hours for a top club rider and more like 9 hours for a serious contender.
Normally place to place records are kept under the RRA umbrella, but of course the Guinness Book of records is a quicker and cheaper route to get these things ratified for the punters. As far as I am aware, Guinness only want a GPX file and a few photos, whereas with RRA you need to pay for the expenses of an official timekeeper and observer along the route (that assuming RRA was interested in the project).

Thoughts?

    Bristol isn't in Wales.

    Thanks for the useful contribution... you probably realise yourself that there are numerous good reasons to start from Bristol rather than Chepstow
