Been a while since I posted on here, but I have a request from some of the Essex based muddies, which is if they can recommend what the best places are for deep mud and clay pits. I've seen so many posts from people showing awesome spots, but there are no disclosed locations, I would have thought in this closed community that people would not mind giving some good locations out.
I've seem on google maps there is some tailing ponds, or at least that's what they look like just off the A12 NE of Chelmsford, and another location SE of Braintree. Funny they look like old WW2 airfields that have been converted to mines/quarries. If anybody could elaborate, this would be greatly appreciated.
As some of my family have moved to Essex, I will probably be visiting at least 2-3 times over the summer and want to hit up some of these pits.
Also, what are the best times to visit? I mean do they operate 7 days per week or only during weekdays? Any info would be appreciated.
