Good job the Cadbury's machines are no more... they really would have slowed him down!

On the other hand, though, it appears (judging from his Twitter feed) that Captain Chaos may be scuppered in his attempt by failing to pass a medical... oh dear!

thats interesting that geoff says he has done 16 attempts at it when his own blog says 14 i think captain chaos will do well if he passes his medical today he is going out of the station to record though cant be a fast time going to happen.

That's a shame. I was really looking forward to giving him a bit of a race on Thursday.

It must be a bit embarrassing for all concerned, though, given the amount of build-up it appeared to have been given...

You've hit the nail on the head there, Neil.

Since when did you need a risk assessment to sit around on trains for the best part of a day with a little bit of running thrown in for good measure?
