I've been wanting to have my first ever mud pit experience, in cosplay maybe, or a one piece swimsuit, etc. but that's besides the point.
I'm in Essex, near the Brentwood area specifically. And I'm wondering if there's any places nearby that I could go to to experience my first time? I don't mind traveling, as long as it's not too far!
But yeah, it's been my goal for a while now, so please, if anyone knows any places, comment them! I'm pretty desperate haha.

These along with the rest of the new album you uploaded is phenomenal! Love the aesthetic of your outfit (ie work pants, black socks, etc.) with the mud.
If you want good mud, nearby water, and privacy? Unfortunately that combination is as rare as rocking horse shit- you'll be putting in some serious miles of walking and exploration to fine a patch that ticks all 3. The good news is they do exist, and the reward is totally worth the effort (I'm not all into mud and it's totally worth it!!).
There is a 'mud map' linked on the forums which lists various mud pits shared by the community over the years.
Firstly you want good clean mud- by clean I mean not contaminated by farm runoff/ dog walkers/litter etc, or full of sticks/tree roots, or heavily fermented (the stink).
If you happy to carry extra water for cleaning off it'll make things a little easier, since you will stumble upon mud patches without water upon your travels. If you not worried about hikers/dog walkers, you can bring a friend and disguise your session as a photo-shoot- the vast vast majority of mud pits I've found are often overlooked by well trodden paths.
As for finding them? I'm an avid wild swimmer, my method for finding swimming holes checks out for finding mud too. I start with google maps (map mode) to easily locate rivers and lakes, then switch to satellite mode for a more detailed look over the area. In general I look at how overgrown the area is (access/safety) and for anything nearby that could pose a health risk (industrial/depot, farms/slurry pits, sewerage works etc), as well as planning a walking route to the locations. Street view can be useful too- checking if a gate is marked 'private', finding footpaths/parking, or how visible an area is from the road. Quarry mud also comes recommended on here- quarries are easy to spot on satellite photos but come with their own additional risks.
Walking the areas in person- as well as looking for mud pits I'm looking at vegetation/terrain/access, water quality, how busy the area is. With lakes ideally I'll walk a full lap of the lake- mud beds tend to be revealed later into the summer when the water level drops, but sometimes can be found year round. If its warm enough swimming parallel to the lakeside and VERY gently probing the bottom with feet tells you a lot too. Rivers typically deposit mud around the inside edge downstream of a bend, or in locations where the flow slows down. I try to walk as much of the river as possible and regularly stand on the top of the bank to check for swimming/mud.
Normally when I first enter a new areas (swimming or mudding) I'll wear socks- you never know whats hidden on the bottom and it'll protect your feet. You may also want to consider flotation aid(s) or a rope to pull yourself out.
As others have commented: it's a tall order. Quarries have amazing mud, but also fencing and cctv cameras. Often they have public footpaths around the boundary fence. Other more natural places such as woodland, the mud is often gritty or twiggy. I travel 4 hours to get to my favourite mudpit, which is the one in my Images, but hell it's worth it! Secluded and insanely indulgent, BUT it's tidal, and some people find that too much of a worry.

Thank you! I'm not a producer. I share my fun on here for the enjoyment of the community and I'm really grateful for your lovely comment, it means more than you'll ever know!
