Sorry, but I am limited in the sinking attire I can smuggle on my bicycle, and prefer just to sink with what I have (discarded clothes) and not invest in anything else.

For my videos, I mostly improvise, although I do have a mental checklist of a few lines I like to throw in at certain times for each video, especially for the beginning.

Amazingly I have crossed the famous Grimpen mire it is called Fox Tor mire and i was very disappointed its been drained and is now about six foot lower, it was a dream for me to try it out, i did it and just ended up wet to my knees lol.
but thanks for the video my next dream is to visit BC and Canada.
wish best wishes,

Sorry to hear that the Foxtor mire itself was "sucked down". Perhaps you should search the area for more patches of mire that may not be drained. Google Maps may also help with that.

So far, I have been trying to get over neck sensitivity that hit me last year, and it seemed that each time it started to improve, something would always make it worse again.
I would have loved to have sunk into my Harris Creek quicksilt slide area in May, but I had cataract surgery early that month, which put me out of commission for much of the month, and was rushing to get work done around the farm prior to the surgery, and am still trying to get caught up with work since. Also, the two weeks of post-op rest didn't help much, because tilting my head back several times a day for a month for eyedrops wound up returning the neck pain big time, and it seems to be settling back down, although there is still lots of sandy grinding, with some days better than others. While digging up large weeds with a shovel and pulling other large weeds, I wound up with pain on the inside of my right thigh, starting with intense aching which lasted two weeks, and is now some soreness and stretching pain in the middle of the inside of my right thigh. Also, increased hip pain. But, it is slowly improving, and once the inner thigh pain is gone, I think (hope) I will finally be set to go on my first outing!
I hope I can go sinking by the end of the month, but it looks like there might be thunderstorms then, bringing an end to our current heat wave, with some slightly cooler (more normal) temperatures after that. I think that if I go under, that if I re-emerge facing forward, I could limit the stress on my neck. The early season looser mud may be easier on my neck than late season thicker mud. I would also have to limit head movements under the mud as well, so I don't know if I would be doing much breathing hose sinks, unless it is in looser mud. I just can't wait to touch base with my sinking area, and surrounding area as well, to get a feel for the status of things, which I can extrapolate to other areas as well! In the meantime, I will have to play things by ear, and listen to my body.
