Today I went back to the site of my first ever proper mud experience.

As I'm back in the area where I grew up in Devon for a few weeks I decided to find my old spot, which I haven't been to for probably 15 years and I was not disappointed! Deep, thick creamy estuary mud with a light greyish colour on top, but black deeper down. I even wore a similar outfit to what I wore when I first went there: a cycling bib made of old-school soft, silky Lycra just like I had when I was 13, albeit a coupe of sizes up!

As I stepped in it was just how I remembered it, thick and smooth and I sank up to my thigh. The smooth creamy mud felt just as good through the soft silky Lycra as it did that first time, and I humped my first load into my bib shorts almost as quickly lol.

I visited this spot many times as a teenager, either in cycling gear or my favourite unlined silky nylon Umbros. I'm happy it was as good as I remembered it. Sorry there are no photos this time.

Have you ever revisited old mud sites? I'd love to hear about it.

Unfortunately out here in L.A., almost all of my 'favorite' mud-spots have disappeared, or have been so 'guarded', so there's no access......

But life goes on.....
