The World Bog Snorkelling Championships 2013
In a peat bog, 226 miles from home, swimming through mud, reeds, tadpoles and (quite possibly) sheep faeces
As The Times puts it, "At the world bog-snorkelling championships in Wales, where competitors might have had a reasonable expectation of mud and damp, there was sunshine. At the Leeds Festival, where revellers might have hoped for sunshine, there were bogs.
It is another traditional August Bank Holiday weekend"
The trench is cut, the crowd is ready.
