Holland (click here for video)

This is one of the more stupid tasks I've been set. Go-cart down the highest point in Holland with wheels made of cheese. You may be thinking to yourself there is no highest point in Holland, it's flat as a pancake. But you couldn't be more wrong, Vaalsberg is a terrifying 325metres tall, compare that to the mere 9000metres of everest. You may also be thinking to yourself how is this quite tall and rather portly chap going to be supported by cheese?

After wasting a couple of perfectly good Gouda cheeses I decided to use a little license to get going. My friend Yan in Belgium had supplied me with some wheelbarrow wheels which after weighing up not getting going at all or cheating slightly I decided that I could quite reasonably attach the cheese to the outside of the wheels. This would at least give the appearance of having cheese wheels.

Not the most spectacular or highspeed go-cart run but could still quite possibly be a contender for the land cheese speed record.
