The Splosh UK Forum

I want to find a few muddy spots in and around S.E England for the next summer mud meet this year but how do i go about finding them as i'm not a expert in finding quarries and mudflats lol.

Worth a days worth of exploring down the Bedford way (just north of London), ive driven my with my other half a few times and we think we have seen areas of interest, mostly we are in a rush so never get a chance to stop and look. ( But we have always a giggle say hummmm theres one for Sploshamn to check out!)

There is also a lot of digging with new roads and houses in the area so there is bound to be something even if it's just temporary but by the looks of things there should be permanent stuff. I guess it's about putting the time in.

An extra benefit is if we find something near and work somthing out we can offer anyone the use of our bathroom (to fully clean up), but you would still need to clear up as much as you can at the site before hand (can't have head to toe muddy people walking in the house! )

Sposhman drop me a pm and we will work out a date for looking around if your intrested.

Google maps are good

We do the same as Cedes, we use google earth. To find the location and thne take a trip out to have a look.

You are looking for a fairy with wings.

I've covered this before - search the forum for 'mud locations in the Bristol area'. Google maps or Multimap are almost the last stage in the process.

All the best in your searches - pm me if you still can't fathom it.

I generally think of an area which i think may have some good spots around and then look at Google maps.
I have found that the maps give a far better definition than "Earth"

Also dont forget sand/ballast workings as the spoil is often washed and there is usually a settlement area very close by.
Esturies also show up very well for the tidal mudflats etc

Nice one guys.

Will get on the case .
