Mud removal

Outside tap, piece of cake !

All sound advice, but as per my initial point are there any lotions and potions that assist the mud to slide off when you're washing down?

Elbow grease is marvellous.................. :thumbup:

I've found that, as I invariably forget to take a towel with me, if I'm really muddy I will probably also have soggy wet socks and these make excellent flannels for a quick scrub of my legs before getting in the car. The added bits of heather and stuff that are often stuck in them are good for exfoliating too;) Sounds disgusting but it works. Also, on the rare occasions that I moisturise my legs before a run, that definitely seems to help the mud slide off afterwards. Boots Botanics body lotion in case you are wondering.:)

Back when I was in Guides we used to coat the outside of pans with washing up liquid before cooking over open fires - the soot and grim washed off really easily afterwards. Maybe the same principle can be applied to legs:w00t:! Might find yourself leaving a trail of suds across the fells though if it's really wet;).

That's what I do, either that or my top (if I'm changing or adding a layer) then the whole lot goes in a waterproof kit bag to be washed.

Me too. It works very well. Your socks are normally coated in mud on the outside, but they always turn inside-out when you take them off, and they act like special spongy wet leg-washers. :)
