did this a couple of months ago, great fun if you like mud 'n' water
2 miles from the changing centre to the course in the back of that cattle truck was bad enough
get in the effin water you orrible little man (plenty of encouragement from the squaddies at the back)
the 'sheep dip' , 2 tunnels, 4 divers & 2 paramedics at the ready!
'i must not breath in next time i'm fully submerged!
hot shower, first aid tent & then a guiness session   |

You would have to knock me out first to get me into a submerged tunnel! 
I grew up in Holland, and when I was 18 I got called up for national service. Had great fun doing all the tests, and I was the only one to get 100% on the morse code, so the signalling guy REALLY wanted me in....but I'd had a motorbike crash a few months before, spent 3 weeks in ICU, so I failed the medical.....doctor took one look at the scars on my legs and sent me packing. Just as well, I don't think I'd have enjoyed myself somehow

i'm not a lover of (dirty) water, but when you get that far round the course the adrenalin kicks in & you just want to do it. I think some of the smartie tubes are just as bad, which you encounter about 1/2 way round ( 600mm dia,very dark, part full of water & about 80 metres long). |

Brrrr...I thought Chirk tunnel was bad enough, and that's big enough for a narrowboat!
