Longish sections proved to sap the concentration and navigation skills and the slimy mud caught everyone out several times . It wasn ’ t deep , but it was dragged onto the logs and tree roots and you probably know what happened next ... Kelvin Bishop succumbed to a log crossing and , although not broken , was very sore .
