Above 30 deg C my miles per litre (water, beer, orange juice..) declines rapidly.
I passed through Cairns in June. Took a bus up to Kuranda, walked the circular rainforest trails around the town then walked back down to Cairns on the Macdonalds Track. An excellent walk and the temperature and humidity were fine for me. Wouldn't fancy it right now thoughTraining in Cairns for April start. Early am walks when temp cool - 26-30 degrees, but humidity 80-90%. Good training we tell ourselves!
If only there was some way to see how many people like/dislike polls...

One of the things I noticed on my six week Australia trip last year was the large number of skin cancer clinics. Along with the insistence of tour guides that those they were leading stopped to apply sunscreen from time to time. Apparently 2 out of 3 Australians are diagnosed with some type of skin cancer by the age of 70. An extraordinary statistic.Red skin and a huge amount of freckles developing on my arms would be the best I could hope for lol
I guess it's what people are used to in their part of the world.

I have many moles (what is a risk factor for skin cancer). My skin doctor always says, that I should have no beach holidays.One of the things I noticed on my six week Australia trip last year was the large number of skin cancer clinics. ...
I used to use a chart like that, but it disintegrated after the second urination.Very true. We have these kind of colour charts in many workplaces in Australia (particularly where people work outside)
It takes a lot of water to keep your pee clear in hot weather!

You must have thought it was the same method as taking a pregnancy test.I used to use a chart like that, but it disintegrated after the second urination.
Only test I ever flunked.You must have thought it was the same method as taking a pregnancy test.
That's worrying! How do you manage 102C? I have spent a few minutes in a sauna at close to 100C but only because I was stark naked and able to run away and jump into a cold shower or a plunge pool when it got too muchWhere I live it regularly is 37 C in the summer, occasionally rising to 102 C or so.

In the Nineties I lived for a year or so in Germany. I took out a year's gym membership at a massive swimming pool/gym/sauna complex. The sauna area alone ran to three floors of the building. They had 80C, 90C and 95C dry sauna cabins. People would dash from the 95C cabin through the showers then jump straight into an unheated outdoor plunge pool which was rimmed with ice in January. Stark naked of course - it was GermanyOops!! I meant to type 43 C.
I'm blaming the glass of vino tinto at my side.
I failed Maths a couple of times. And to be honest a positive result in either Maths or a pregnancy test would have been almost equally unlikely in my teens.....Only test I ever flunked.
I dislike walking in any weather past 65 degrees farenheit. My camino starts on April 9th and I'll be thrilled if it is unseasonably cold for the next 7 weeks.Lol
