Basrah again - 50 degree's-ish in the shade, 70 degree's ish in the back of a ****** Landrover!

Drinking 1.5 litres of (usually on the hot side of warm) water every 20 minutes, and wearing about 40lbs - 50lbs of kit. fun, fun, fun.

where is the hottest place you have ever been?

went mountain biking st Slick Rock in Utah a few years back. 26 C at night, 42 during the day. Slick rock, being a rock, with not vegitation, isn't the best place to be in extreme heat - especially if you're a northerner! I had to lie with my head under a solitory 18" high bush to recover, whilst the guides driddled the remains of their Camelbacks on my head.

Fantastic riding, but don't do it in summer!

Anything more than about 28c and I loose my energy.
