200mm of water at the ramp and continuing out to the track area.
Irregular patches all over the area that when you ground your bare foot into revealed red to black mud between 25 to 50mm deep!!
The salt crust surrounding the patches of mud could easily be lifted up as it was only 5 to 10mm thick.
Mud that was under thin the salt crust.
