Is it just me or has anyone noticed that the mud in the peak district is so much harder to shift than mud from any where else? I heard they were clingy in Derbyshire but this is taking the pi**!

Its ruined my Innov's both shoes fell apart after a long run over there.
I think it may have chemicals in it.

I was thinking more of the 'skin'factor. Anytime im in the peak district I have to scrub my skin with a nail brush to get the muck off......i end up with blook red skin, making me look like i either have allergies or am a kinky sod
The peat is acidic, so it will rot stitching - it's certainly worth giving them a good rinsing after a bog trot, if you can be arsed.
Peak district water is a potent concoction of polluted rain water with leachate peat water and sheep urine all mixed with acidic sub-structure water containing minerals, heavy metals and hydrocarbons. Apparently it tastes just like some beers.

Thought it was just bog-standard...?
But at least it doesn't clag up your soles/studs like that field type of mud you get down south.
Gyppo - well said! I run down in Dorset sometimes when I'm visiting my folks, and running through fields is a nightmare as your feet build up massive clogs of mud. Peat bog mud is the best!
