New quicksand experience
Posted: Fri Oct 29, 2021 7:24 am
I was going through my archives and came across some serious pictures and video of a quicksand area that I found (sort of by mistake ). It was a couple of months ago, and I now realize after looking at the videos and pictures of how deliciously perilous the place was.
There were all sorts of thrills - not least of which was the fact that the quarry was almost in full view of the road. But temptation got the better of me, and before I knew it I had put on rubber waders and made my way across the sand to what can only be described as scarily heavenly.
Fear really did take over when the entire area of wet sand around me liquefied and turned to a huge pool of wobbling mire. I turned around and my boots broke through the wet sandy surface and in an instant I was down to rims of my waders in quaking quickmud. I seriously only just managed to haul myself out and crawl back to firm ground nearly 30 metres away on all fours as my gloves and boots kept on pushing through the surface.
I filmed it but had to go all the way around to get the camera back. My adrenaline was running like crazy!
Has anyone had any recent experiences of getting caught unawares in deep mud or quicksand while trying to live out their fantasy?
