At this time of year the ponds at the farm get overgrown very quickly, and Andrea ends-up cutting back the growth on the banks about every 4 weeks. As the first trickle of water found its way down inside the front of her chest waders, it reminded Andrea of the "I'm a Celebrity" jungle challenge in which Jessica Jane Clement had to transport water in her chest waders. It looked like really good fun, so why not give it a try?
She wondered just how much water she could get in her chest waders and still be able to walk (or at least be able to crawl out of the pond!).
A neat chest wader video. Andrea starts off in riding boots and running tights, but quickly strips out of them to put on a pair of chest waders (... and above-the-elbow waterproof gauntlets, for you glove fetishists) before wading into the river. There's a decent amount of thigh and waist deep wading before she goes deeper, teasing us by wading in right to the tops of her chest waders without flooding them. She floods her gloves by reaching too deeply into the water, then finally goes over the top of her chest waders to flood them before emerging and peeling off the waders to reveal the wet clothes beneath. She then puts the waders back on (over bare feet, for those who love that sort of thing) and wades back in, flooding and swimming in her waders before struggling out with completely filled chest waders, which appear almost too heavy for her to move in. Finally, she strips down to leggings and bra and puts her riding boots back on.
