Candy had expressed an interest in vertical total submersion in mud; indeed she was determined to do it, despite the known difficulties. An opportunity arose after a Splunch, and we adjourned to a quarry silt pond where the girls changed into PVC outfits and thigh boots for their adventure in the ooze. With much help from Sammy-Jane, Candy submerged in the mire, not once, but several times, and followed this with several prone sinkings in the sloppy clay.

They never did find the bottom, and struggled for ages to get out.

Note: It was blowing a hooley that day, and while much of the camera motion and shake has been removed, a little remains, and turn your speakers down; the wind noise is awful.
