Reminds of my evening walk a few days ago, unaware the field I was trying to cross was quite as wet as it was, I got a few yards into it and realised my mistake, as I turned to go back to the path, my foot slipped, I went down, ended up covered from toes to elbows in thick runny mud, thankfully nobody saw and I then had to walk home dripping mud as I walked, hoping not to pass anyone Think I'll wait a few more weeks before trying that route again!
