Well after a great weekend of sun I couldn't resist going to my favourite clay pit in the Essex area and going for a dip.
Unfortunately there are no videos or pics of me in the clay as I was on my own on this occasion but hopefully the next time I go someone will join me and get some good pics
The clay was so warm and I couldn't resist diving in and going all the way under
I will be keep a close eye on the weather and looking to go at any given opportunity so please feel free to join me
Couple of pics attached of the clay after I cleaned up
I really miss the days of living down there, with three gravel quarries withing 10 minutes cycle of the town I was spoilt for mud! ahh those were the good days
Now that's some beautiful quarry mud! When I'm alone and getting covered in mud in the quarry, I usually set my camera down on something dry and record a video...then extract pics from the video. Nonetheless, the mud on its own is pretty hot, especially seeing the spot where you had fun.
Honestly, what is it with Essex? Several wammers of note (like Wamchantelle) have worked there over the last decade, and the mud has always looked superb.
I moved away from Essex 10 years ago,.. I assumed that if mud would be easily found there it would be the same everywhere,. oh how wrong I was! where I lived before gave me access to 2 river estuaries, hectairs of tidal mud flats,. inland bog areas,. 3 gravel pits with excellent deep mud,. and even a manure pit or two! all within 15 minutes on a bicycle! Essex is a very flat, wet and soggy place,.with a fractured low lying coastline as with most of east Anglia, the ground is a soft saturated clay, so you can find mud pretty easily and if you know what your doing, deep mud is easy to find! up here its a whole different storey I have at least a 3 hour drive to visit the wilds of the high peak to find decent mud in a desolate and freezing cold peat bog, and I cant drive I miss my extreme mudding days
Sorry for the late replies, been working away for the last few days
The weather was perfect and the mud even more so
I would love someone to join me there sometime and I know at least one other person is using the same pit from time to time as I could see where they were playing and they left there flip flops behind lol
May be visiting again soon so pm me if you want to join me
I will be in Suffolk in late June What are the chances of a meeting to get into your claypit? Photos/videos welcome I don't usually go right under (glasses) but neck deep is fine I like wearing speedos or thongs but any gear you fancy could be worn instead
