Nut Challenge

This was a fantastic day!

Up at around 8.30am with a slight heavy head, had breakfast, got ourselves ready and then headed off to Surrey after collecting Zoe on the way

We had entered for the Nuts Challenge obstacle event and didn't 100% appreciate what we'd signed up for...we were soon to realise!

After parking we walked to the registration area and saw what was waiting for us, it was mental. Mud and water and obstacles everywhere

Check in and got sorted and then met with Zoe's cousin who we ended up staying with

We went on the 11.00am start and were off. Within 100 metres we were facing our first of so many things to go through

Ditches down and then scrambling up the other side, crawling through mud, waist high water. Slides, cargo nets, tyres, so much I can't even list it all. Even carrying sand bags and tyres. It was absolutely shattering and it took us 3 hours. Partly as a result of staying together through. Everyone loved every minute of it. 

I smashed my knee on a rock which was horrible and made getting round really hard work. Got round and we celebrated at the end. Cold showers to clean up and then drove home, got a macs as well before piping into Sues to wish Tiffany happy birthday. Didn't stay long as had things to do at home

Didn't get much work done and went to bed around midnight as I was so very tired. Decided not to go to work T Birmingham on Monday

Oh, posted some photos and videos on Facebook and loads of people were interested in what we'd done and if we sign up to do it next year I think a lot of people will be interested in joining us

I will say again, that was absolutely brilliant fun.
