Yet a hundred years before (54 BC) Caesar mentions being harassed by 4,000 charioteers (perhaps only 2,000 chariots) on his march after defeating the Brythons.
This use of chariots or / and wagons seems to continue at the final battle of Boudica and up to the battle of Mons Graupius.
It seems that any Brythons not killed or wounded in battle manage to escape in large numbers rather than being "mopped up" by the Roman cavalry - so the mobility question remains.
