Maldon Mud Race
Posted: 27 Dec 2005 8:55
Every year after Christmas, we have a local fund raising event where people take part in a race across the river Blackwater at low-tide. If you are at the front it's not so bad and the race can be completed in around 5 minutes, but as the mud gets churned up people start to get stuck and it's real fun to watch! Some people were still stuck an hour after the finish! What a great way to spend the day. 0 degrees with a biting wind, up to your neck in stinking mud and then an ice cold shower!
