Amazing Bog/Swamps
Submitted by JKENNEDY057 on 1 February, 2010 - 23:52.There's at least five good swamps (that I've found) in this area alone;
Stretham quarry
Submitted by muddsterr on 2 January, 2010 - 23:00.Perfect smooth mud and lots of fresh water to clean up in, deserted site and 200m walk from the road, surrounded by high banks so not a chance of being spied on - see my rubber videos taken at this site in the Summer :) http://mudboyuk.com/content/mud-and-rubber_3069
Always happy to show others round.
Stream bog in Epping Forest51.680356,0.076872
Submitted by diveruk on 20 December, 2009 - 15:57.Might belong under "Forest & Wilderness" rather than "Bogs or Swamps", but according to a friend this is a stream bog.
Coordinates are an estimate, but the area is well worth exploring. If you head south from the path next to Ambresbury Banks, you will almost certainly encounter mud, especially in wet weather. I know at least one spot you will sink up to your waist in, if not deeper - looks like a dried-up stream bed with a tree fallen over it, and the tree comes in handy when trying to get out again!
Georgia clay
Submitted by bootmuck on 26 September, 2009 - 04:28.My job took me to the southeast of the States this week. There has been an incredible amount of rainfall over the last week. About 20" in most places.Working in and old rock quarry that was as muddy as I have ever seen.First day I stepped into the hole my 18"loggers sunk over the tops.If you have ever been into red clay mud you know you just don't walk out of this S--T.3 days buried up to my ass. Got some great pictures that I will post as soon as I can dry out my camcorder.
Mersea Island, Essex
Submitted by muddyskin on 18 September, 2009 - 10:27.Just to the south of Colchester, Essex, you will find Mersea Island. You have to cross a causeway in order to reach the island, but it has some of the best mud in the country. Deep black mud, no shingle or stones etc..
hampstead heath
Submitted by muddyskin on 18 September, 2009 - 10:23.At the bottom of the heath, just over from the stream bit, turn left and follow the stream.. you will find one of the foot bridges, then just past it, you will find a shallow deep mud pit (created by myself a few years back!)
The mud is high in iron content, so in daylight it appears orange. At night tho, when i usually go, the mud is thick and gloopy, and once past the smell, it is perfect mud for wallowing in. be warned tho, high iron content mud will stain gear, so wear something industrial or thick pvc...
Leigh sand pit
Submitted by chickenhawk on 27 June, 2009 - 09:56.This is a working sand pit producing the archetypal bright red Cheshire sand.
The easiest way to get into the site is on the south side, there is no fencing here, just a mound of earth from when the topsoil was cleared. I've not had a full session in there but have had a wander around, found a few areas of soft dark red mud of at least ankle depth (I didn't try going in any deeper) plus a large pond in one corner. The water in the pond is quite dirty so not that good for cleaning up, however there is a brook across the fields to the south of the site.
Barry - Porthkerry Park - Farmer Fields n Woodland
Submitted by Matt James on 5 May, 2009 - 06:13.Location is Barry in the Vale of Glamorgan. Its a good spot for mudding throughout the woods. Its a public park. The best deep spot is a walk out of park and up into the fields following a public footpath to where ive found a real deep spot of mud. Around knee deep in place. One or two areas tho are definitely deeper but have not tried them out as do not own any waders
