Day 159 - A Helping Hand

This is an entrant in the Tough Mudder, a 12 mile, 20 obstacle extreme Assault Course designed by Special Forces. This guy had got round the whole course to this last obstacle, the Electric Shock Treatment, a mud pit laced with dangling cables capable of giving a shock a quarter that of a Tazer.

He missed his footing on the two strategically placed steps in the pit and face-planted into the mud -see " http://365project.org/snaggy/bits-and-pieces/2013-06-08". Dazed, he crawled out helped by his teammate to have his Tough Mudder Finisher headband slipped on his head and a pint of cider pushed into his hand - I'm sure he knew nothing absolutely nothing about it.
What an achievement! Hey Kev... did you do the tough mudder course as well?

@gailmmeek Oh no - a bit too "mature" and perhaps sensible for that - @tomo87 did though, and another guy I know from work - raised over £2K I believe for Charity - top guys. That's why I went down, to get some shots of them, but I'll let Tom post those if he wants.

@snaggy Wow, well done to them... that's a great amount raised!

Wow! Are you serious, those are electric wires dangling down ? I thought they were just some paper ribbons.

Terrific. Well done to this chap for getting around the course.

At least he got a pint... Bet he spent a while sat down recovering after this!
