Steve,
I'm sure no one is going to be interested in this but for the record the "race " consisted of teams from various faculties. Design of the chariot was left to each team. We chose a dustbin on two pram wheels, occupied by a lady student and pulled by four guys. Our team consisted of several ladies and men. Our support vehicle was a Bedford CA van. It was cold, so much so, that a charioteer from one team suffered hypothermia and had to be hospitalised! It was a two day slog, staying overnight in a very cold hall in Chesterfield, in fact so cold I was forced to share a sleeping bag with one of the lady charioteers. Amazing what one has to do for charity.
