Oh look, it's near me. Oh look, I don't have anywhere to store it.
It's being readvertised, too. It looks great fun if you've got 4 like minded
(and sized) friends to join in. Also, south Birmingham's probably a bit
hilly.

I thought "that'd be good on a charity ride", but then remembered there is
often a stop at a pub or two, and I really wouldn't trust whoever is
piloting.

Even worse having the gears and brakes at the back..
Looks fun. But I have no way of transporting it as it is not possible
to ride it solo.

I'm sure you could get some volunteers to help you ride it up to Dundee.

I for one wouldn't want to cycle up and down the Law. Not sure how the brakes would work, and whether it would get round the bends

It would be OK on the Law as far as bends go, they aren't that tight.
But as for the brakes, holding four bodies...

I saw a side by side version of one of them once, broken down, on the
L2B. The riders were no where to be seen (in the pub probably)
weirdest experience I had was overtaking one which seemed to be made of
a dumper truck and some wheelbarrow wheels on the London Cambridge
ridden by 4 laydeez who all looked like Beryl Cook; I overtook it about
2cm into the ride, and again about 200m before the end.......

Ride it as a single speed and rely on the front brakes only? (With both
rim and drum brakes, the front brakes only would be legal.)
I'm sure an appeal here would find someone prepared to help you collect it.
But unless you had someone else in mind to ride with, there wouldn't be
much point.
(I have just suggested it as a company vehicle to some co-workers - there's
usually a few of the company doing the London-Cambridge ride.)
