Mud Madness Sunday 17th April 2011

[LennyJ1]

I'm still going to come along and be the NI-Wild Photographer.

I hope next months photo comp's subject will be "mud" 

[MG1]

finally got round to booking the NI-WILD Wine Bags in, now what sort of training should i be doing? 2 or 3 packets of Jaffa cakes a day 

Just drink as much tonic as possible the night before the race and you'll be fine.

well i've had my action man haircut (easier to get the mud out of  and oiled the wheels of my zimmer frame so all ready to go, should be a good opportunity for some pics for this weeks photo competition but don't think i dare bring the camera on the course  i hope it rains a bit to soften up the mud

weel the forecast looks good for a BBQ  

Sunday:

The dry weather will continue and after a rather cloudy start, some bright or sunny spells will develop during the day. Light winds. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

I was thinking, if i wrap myself up in cling film it would stop me getting all muddy  

(i've seen it done with land rovers   )

The key timings for the day are as follows:
10:00 Registration opens*
12:00 Registration closes
12:30 Warm up
13:00 Race starts

i aim to be there for about 11am (ish)

[LandyLiam]

are the uniforms ready?

[LandyLiam]

We did it 

But that was one seriously muddy course, Lenny should have some good pics.

I'm sitting in the bath now letting the mud soften before I "try" to shower it off, already had a quick solar shower after the event, a hose down in the garden, and still covered in it, picking blobs of mud from EVERY nook and cranny, well at least I hope its mud 

I'll be having nightmares about those camel humps for weeks, still keen to do it next year though!

[RedLeader]

Well done guys. Was it good fun?

[MikeD]

It was cracker jack.
The mud smelled so gross.
its like, a once in a lifetime opportunity to jumP in giant mud pools, but you can always sign up for nexT year , which I shall!
