Sign up for some muddy good fun

The adrenalin-fuelled five or 10-mile obstacle course will take place in the stunning grounds of Ashridge House on Sunday October 23.

Mudpackers will swing, jump, climb and wade their way through the 190-acre grounds and woodland of the historic country estate, negotiating wet and muddy obstacles along the way.

This year will feature new obstacles, including a giant superslide, a tunnel challengeand some freefalling, as well as old favourites such as the wall, the skips, hay bales, tyre and log zones.

A team of 12 staff from Tring School have already signed up for the challenge.

Deputy headteacher Sally Ambrose said: “We are so looking forward to getting stuck in at Mud Pack III. We can’t wait to have some fun and take part in the challenge together as a team, while supporting this wonderful local charity.”

Hospice events manager Fran Martin said: “We are so excited about Mud Pack III. With hundreds of participants last year and over £180,000 raised, local people showed us that they love the chance to take on a challenge which is a little out of the ordinary but which delivers huge amounts of fun.

“This year, we have even more fun planned and more fantastic obstacles, but we’ll be springing a few surprises.

“What better way to spend an autumn day than by doing something different in a beautiful location and all for a fantastic cause? Register now to be sure you reserve your space for some muddy good fun!”
