A few of my fellow instructors got together for the winter Mud Run at Stubbers Adventure Centre 4x4 track. You don't have to be mad but it helps... Pretty warm at 9 degrees but the water traps a tad chilly. I spent the first 5 minutes laughing madly as I followed Andy through the first part of the course. His wellies collected the mud nicely and every step saw a gush of water and mud shoot up his body from inside his boots.
The ladies started first and we soon caught them up however Ben took a full body splat at the first major pool. Just staying on our feet was a challenge. The field soon spread out with me sitting in the last third gradually pulling my way up the ranks. Absolutely brilliant fun followed by a dip in Coys Lake. Martin was the victor closely followed by Bob however everyone finished with only a few minor injuries. Thanks to everyone who took part and especially to Bob who organised the event. If you ever wondered what outdoor instructors do for fun and to keep fit this will give you a rough idea.
Powerboating and Kayaking over the next few days. Let's hope for continuing good weather.
