Well Tony, they can’t say they were not aclimatised, if they had any sense, they would have walked, not run this short distance. At the age of 26, I joined “The Force” I was the oldest one of 150 others, it was Feb, and BL88DY cold, we then, the same week, had to run a 9 mile trial, I was pleased to say I came 2nd, many younger lads fell by the way, may from hypathermia setting in.
This was at Pannal Ash, Nr Harrogate.Didn’t need water, just a handful of snow;)
They don’t make em like they used to.:D
Just a quicky, (My wife still says NO), but the Chief of Police in S.A. has a set of tubes either side of his car, which throws out propane gas, when he is surrounded by the SAs who want to steal his car, I understand vehicle theft if a big problem there.His car however throws out flames, when several attempts have been made to grab his car.
I bet he gets invited to a lot of Bar B Qs though.
Jim.
