How bad is the clearance on the cannondale? - @IR

Not sure, @spotter might be able to post up a photo now the bike's clean.

I'm amazed that wheel was still turning. - @BareNecessities

At that point I'm pretty sure both wheel and cranks were not moving!

Ahh...that kind of mud. - @Howard

That Kind of Mud™ indeed! Epping forest speciality. About 1.5 continuous miles of it on this particular route back to North London.

at worst your derailure is going to be forcibly removed

My thoughts exactly, presumably same applies for a chain keeper/device as well. I guess it's best to simply let the chain come off in this instance.

Epping forest speciality

I find the forest is actually OK. It's either very watery with good support below or it's just deep mulch. It's the bits on the way back in to town that get destroyed by the horses that look like potential bike killers. I don't ride there.
