Designed to evoke memories of the trenches of the Somme, this obstacle is made up of pits full of burning bales of hay, interspersed with ditches of cold muddy water. At least if you catch fire there’s going to be enough water to put out the flames.

I don’t think there’s going to much I can do to prepare myself for this obstacle short of having a few barbecues over the summer. I think the wife and the locals might object if I start burning bales of hay in the back garden!
