I took a trip up to the lake district yesterday with a friend. We were sposed to climb the biggest mountain in England (which is more like a hill when compared to the rest of the world) in nothing more than trainers and jeans. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Anyway, we drove up for 3.5 hours, got lost about 10 miles and finally found the place at about 1:30pm. The roads are so crazy up there that I was sick as soon as we got out of the car. This didn't bother me though, so we get out and find the nearest thing that looks like a path to start our journey proper. The ground was quite moist but manageable. About 2 minutes in, we noticed the ground getting much softer until finally we made one step too far and started to sink. It turned out the ground was some sort of horse shit/soil hybrid and before we knew it, we were knee deep in the shit. I try to pull myself out and my trainer gets stuck in the shit and comes off my foot. I'm now standing in shit in my socks and had to pull my trainer out with my hands. I almost went face-first into it, but thankfully the gods took pity on my city boy ignorance and we managed to pull ourselves out. Needless to say, it wasn't a pretty sight, but thankfully we found a freshwater stream nearby to clean ourselves off. I threw my socks away, doused my trainers under the stream for about 10 minutes and tried to get rid of as much shit which was stuck to me as humanly possible. In total, our actual walk/climb lasted 15 minutes and totaled about 100 yards. We got back in the car, lost as much shit clothing as possible and set back off. The car absolutely stunk and I was sick a total of 3 times on the journey home. We laughed about it as much as one could laugh and joked that if we got pulled over by the police in minimal clothing and a car smelling of shit, there would be difficultly explaining what happened without them thinking we were a bunch of homos. But still, it was fun in a sadistic sort of way. Needless to say, next time I think we will bring the proper equiptme |
