we survived the HEAT!!

So we camped for 8 nights in daytime temps of 40 degrees plus. Each morning the tent was evacuated by 7am and we were unable to enter it again untill after 5pm! We learnt alot about surviving the heat with no air con or buidlings to retreat to. For instance we have never in our lives had to keep medicines, vaseline, moisturisers, lip balms etc in a cool bag or fridge before.

We managed to get through the whole week with no sun burn (apart from to the lips!), no heat stroke (kept x3 3 litre bottles of water in a large outdoor fridge the camp site provided) and only a 1 bee sting (Asia), 1 scold injury (KJ with hot water from tea making!) and 1 paddle blister (me from kayaking for a couple of hours!).

We reflected alot about the difference in UK camping where we have spent days fighting the rain and cold to here trying to get cool and stay rehydrated! We all still LOVE camping though whichever the challenge and suvival needs.
