>>LONDON WEST IS ALMOST SOLD OUT<<
DON'T MISS OUT - BOOK NOW
Bonus weekend obstacle idea!
🦶Fast Feet🦶
A floating bridge linked together that can just about float and no more!
You`re going to have to have light feet and move quickly or you`ll sink! 💦
This obstacle has geographical restrictions and most likely wouldn`t suit most Tough Mudder sites so I`ve decided to just drop it randomly and not on our usually Obstacle Innovation Sundays!
Tomorrows obstacle is still scheduled as well as the 16th! So April is definitely shaping up to be⚡Shocking⚡ and make your head 🤪 spin 🤪

🧠 Brain Freeze 🥶
If Artic Enema, Tipping Point and The Slide had a Throuple. 💖
Ready for a head rush? Shock the body and then squeeze it into a dark tunnel that moves. I`m sure it won`t over stimulate and send your brain into reboot mode... 😬

Another one from our `Pink Book`
🎸 `Rocky my Boxy` 🎸
Another Simple design and obstacle to give a fresh feel to the race.
A large box to climb up and over!
But beware! When you add weight to the front it rotates forward. When you pass the centre of gravity it rotates back!
The obstacle is weighted at the back to return it to the upright position for the next racer!

One straight out `The Pink Book` 😍 this Sunday!
Hook `n` Loop
A variant of The Classic Kong`s with a gauntlet feel. Everyone wants to feel like a ninja! 🥷🥷
Simple design, Simple Build.
Grab 2 Loops for each hand and progress through the obstacle, hooking them on hooks. Some of them are on chains or moving!
Plenty more ideas hiding in this book, you know, if anyone wants to approach us 😉🤣

Here comes my suggestion for a future Tough Mudder obstacle.
Name: Over flipped
Description
The mudder has to climb up a ladder and crawl along a pipe about 20 feet long. The pipe has a diameter of 2 feet and it can freely rotate to the left and right so the mudder has to keep the balance. To have more grip there are some handlebars attached to the pipe along it’s length. Should the mudder lose the balance, he or she can shiggle along the pipe by holding on to the handlebars, even though it’s turned upside down. That would be very hard to traverse the obstacle but it’s still doable.
Should the mudder fall off, there’s a pool of water. Hopefully there’re no alligators in it like in Atmore. 😉
On the other side the exit goes over the podium.
There can be several pipes next to each other.
Finger and full body strength is necessary to complete this obstacle. But it also need a good balance.
Please like the post diligently to support me 😉.

This is “Ring-Ring-Ring”. Swing from the ring to the cargo net, then to the next ring, just out of reach, and repeat. All suspended 8’-10’ over a pool of water.
Easy for some, challenging for others.

While we take a chiller approach this week like Tough Mudder with Obstacle Innovation this year..
Some of you might have heard us talk about the `Pink Book`😈
and
Even the lucky few have survived the `Gnome Shenanigans` where we test some of our ideas and generally have a laugh.
The Gnomes eat,sleep,obstacle repeat all year round. We have many ideas, not just for obstacles. Give us a corner and watch us grow! 😉

So Tough Mudder has a wedding package now 🤷♂️🤷♀️, so why not a wedding themed obstacle to go with it?
💖 To Have and To Hold 💖
Normal version is Texas Hold`em reinvented with ropes for tying the knot together💦💦
WTM version has electrics involved to bring a bit of spice into the relationship ⚡⚡
The no water version will have you connected and could have a shocking outcome 😤 (2 player version of WTM`s operation obstacle)

Giles we can keep this up all year but we`re going to need some feedback 😉 or things are going to start getting weird 🙈🙉🙊
Sunday, Suuuunday. 🔥
🦆 Duck Hunt 🦆
You drag your family and friends to spectate every time... Force them to stand in a field full of mud and make them hold your stuff..
It`s time for some spectator revenge!!
With a sprinkle of twinkle toes over water.
You`ll Dodge, Duck , Dip, Dive and Dodge;
wet sponges,
foam balls and
maybe even supper soakers.
As spectators take their 5am wake up call anger out on you from trying to get to the event on time.

So as we head into the first Sunday of February, Tough Mudder have been quiet... too quite!! (January is now a distant memory for a Gnome 🥴)
As we push deeper into 2023 we want your feedback. Each time you tell us what you like and dislike, This helps us refine our ideas into bigger, better and more likely to be seen obstacles! That goes for you as well Tough Mudder!!! Don`t be shy we can take it... I think.... 😭
Tomorrows obstacle isn`t for the runners btw 🤷🤷♀️🤷♂️ Yeah go figure 🙊
#tminnovationlab toughmudder toughmuddereurope
Another stab at the #tminnovationlab because this idea was in my head and I had to bust out some MSPaint level skills to realise it 😂
"The Wushu Wall Run"
I`ve always loved those scenes in Kung Fu movies where the action hero runs across the wall like someone switched the gravity off and looking pretty graceful whilst doing it. This would be your opportunity to do the same.
It`s basically a set of ropes attached to a zip line style pulley. Grab the rope, take a running jump to launch across the water before running along a vertical wall. Survive the wall run with enough speed to clear the remaining gap and land on terrafirma.
Mission achieved. Slow motion optional.
Additionally to make this tougher -
Maybe make this a few walls with gaps in between.
Or better still, multiple walls, multiple ropes.
You`ll have to leap for your next rope making this even more epic.
Someone much cleverer than I can figure out how to make the ropes return to the start once the weight is released (I`m sure there`s a way to do this, but it might as well be magic or me!)

My entry to the toughmudder obstacle design competition. Using the pinnacle of graphic design media.... Windows Paint! 🤣 I would also add on water cannons for other Tough Mudders to shoot water at their fellow runners! #toughmudder #toughmuddereurope #obstaclecourse #bouldering #tminnovationlab
So this is my second obstacle design entry after the other years wrecking ball submission.
Welcome to haze maze!! A giant hay bale cube that has a maze inside of different options. Dug into the ground to get down and ditty but to also climb up inside the hay bale maze itself and go up in a dark confined space. Mudders take their route and it can either go down or up more so its a lucky dip!
Can also be scaled down for even the Lidl mudders too!
Simple but fun! Who doesn`t like launching over and up hale bales?!

This weeks Sunday Obstacle Innovation is a simple creation using material we know Tough Mudder have a few of!
Over-Under-Through but Tough Mudder Style 😎
Utilizing their love of tubes we bring an idea from 2 races together to make you feel aquaphobic, claustrophobic and feeling UNBREAKABLE after your done 💪💪
#tminnovationlab toughmudder toughmuddereurope
A new take on Funky Monkey! Wooden boards with holds on them that are hanging from chains so they move as you do. You slowly get higher above the water as you make your way sideways across them. Ending with a rope climb down to solid ground.
#toughmudder #toughmudderobstacle #tmambassador #toughmudderuk #tminnovationlab
Not the best drawing, but here`s another idea for the #tminnovationlab obstacle challenge.
Slanted walls with climbing holds on them for your hands and small wooden slats for your feet. Gotta traverse across the wall, then lean behind you to get to the next wall. Repeat until the end.
#toughmudder #toughmudderobstacle #tmambassador #toughmudderuk
My #tminnovationlab submission for a new obstacle at Tough Mudder! It`s a pretty basic picture but I`m pretty proud of myself 😂 I`m no artist, that`s for sure.
Nothing But Net - a rope swing over water into a cargo net climb and then a nice little slide as a reward 😁
