After being selected to go into a huge tank of mud in my work clothes, and discovering that I actually enjoyed the sensation, I obviously volunteered to take part again. I wondered how it would feel in jeans, so wore a nice pair of blue skinnies on the day. Two things stuck in my mind from my first time. One was the amazing contrast as my black and white stripey socks got progressively muddier and muddier, the other was the frankly incredible sensation of having my shoes sucked of my feet by the sticky mud. On this basis I decided to wear some similar socks and shoes as the first time!
The mud was similar to the first time, although maybe slightly wetter. It certainly squelched and gurgled as I stepped in! Again, the reaction of the assembled crowd was really thrilling, with lots of loud jeering and people shouting "EEEEEWWWWWWW" as my pretty shoes disappeared into the brown ooze. Again, I didn't get very far before I found it impossible to keep my shoes on, such was the suction. I revelled in the feeling of continuing to get muddy, with just my nice socks on my feet. A lady onlooker actually shouted "It's a shame to dirty such lovely socks!" and this just made the sensation even more fun!
I ended up pretty caked from head to toe again, and lots of money was raised. But almost more importantly, I had a lovely, lovely time getting so dirty!
