Derek Cobb, Staff Nurse. One of the founders of the event, Derek has never been known to give up or fail if set a challenge. Except, of course, the challenge to get out of bed and make it to his work on time in the morning. His biggest challenge of the event will be to keep Rambo following the training programme.


THE MOTLEY CREW

Stewart Main, Nursing Assistant, another of the brains(??) behind the event. Never one to voluntarily do any work of any description, the labours involved in this event so far have been an awfy shock to his system. Currently convalescing in the maximum security Chez Grecian 2000 Rest Home for the follicly challenged.


Alan "Rambo" Ramsay, Nursing Assistant. What can we say? The heart of a lion coupled with the intellectual capacity of a duck-billed platypus. Famous throughout the scientific community for "Ramsay's Law of Physics" which states that the distance covered travelling between two given points on a bicycle is exactly the same as the distance covered when travelling the same route by motor car.


Chris Reid, Staff Nurse. Calm yourselves, ladies, we've not recruited The Fonz to the team, it's oor Chris. A legend in his own lunchtime, martial arts machine Chris assures us his training regime is going according to plan, "My hair has never been so fit and perfectly styled", he claims


Tony Sircos, Student Nurse. Down, boys!! It's not George Michael but hunky Greek lookalike Tony. Set to qualify as a nurse next February (allegedly), Tony's only fear about taking part in our challenge is not being mobbed by adoring fans while the boat is out on the open sea.


Brian Lennon, Staff Nurse. The old man of the crew. Volunteered for the challenge to prove he's still young and virile but, unfortunately he's fooling naebody. We've been ordered by H.M. Coastguard to carry, in the safety boat, a Kwik Fit mechanic and a set of jump leads in case he breaks down halfway across
