Bogged down by dirty weekend events

MUD, mud glorious mud, there’s nothing quite like it for cooling the blood, but two people who got bogged down in separate incidents at the weekend might disagree.

A helicopter, fire brigades and ambulances were called out over the weekend to rescue a man and a young woman who found themselves almost up to their oxters in ooze in two separate incidents.

However, there was no need for emergency services in Portadown yesterday when over 650 dirty muckers took part in the Mud Madness race at Foymore Lodge.
