VI. READING (16PTS)
Hot weather makes your heart pump harder, and if you are not very fit, you start to understand why the
majority of mountain rescue statistics are made up from summer walkers suffering heart attacks. Heat
exhaustion is quite easy to get when you are making a great physical effort. It happens where your body can’t
produce enough sweat to keep you cool.
The answer is to keep up your water intake. It’s a good idea to drink a pint of water for every 10 degrees
Fahrenheit every 24 hours. So, if the temperature is in the 70s, and you are doing a five-hour walk, you’ll need
a minimum of around one and a half pints of water. It’s vital that you don’t wait until you develop a raging
thirst before you stop for a drink- keep taking regular swigs from your water bottle.
Many walkers flavour their water with fruit juice, which makes it a lot more palatable. You could even
use one of the isotonic drinks made for athletes, which replace the body’s salts lost through sweating. Powders
such as “Dioralyte”, which you may have in the house as a treatment for diarrhea, will do the job just as well,
as its main aim is also effective rehydration.
Given that evaporation is your body’s cooling mechanism, you can help things along with an external
application of water. Soaking your hat with water is a great way to cool the head, though if the sun is beating
down. it will probably dry off almost immediately. Better still then if you can plunge into a river ( line 23)
or the sea fully –clothed. And if that’s not possible, then at least take off your boots and socks and paddle in a
cool stream.
Walking in the heat increases the rate at which your feet swell , which can lead to them feeling tight in
your boots. Cool water from a stream reduces any swelling and helps general foot comfort. At the same time,
you can check out your feet for sign of blisters. Extra sweating makes the skin softer and increases the chance
of blister forming, in the same way as when water leaks into your boots and gets to your feet.
As for clothing you wear, this should be lightweight and reasonably loose-fitting. Tight clothing will
feel uncomfortable and even lead to the formation of an irritating rash known as “ prickly heat” on your skin.
 The answer, if this does develop, is to try and stay cool as much as possible. DO this by either keeping in the
shade, or washing the affected area with cold water, but without soap. But prevention is by far the best
approach, so keep your clothing light.
It’s understandable to want to remove any extraneous clothing when it’s extremely hot, ( line 42)
but it doesn’t really make much sense to take off T- shirts. The sun’s rays can be quite strong, and shoulders are
always very sensitive to sunburn. This is the worst place to be red and sore when you are wearing a heavy
rucksack on your back. Wearing shorts can also create problems for walkers, as the back of the legs can catch
the sun very easily.
In fact, those days when an apparently harmless breeze is blowing can be the most deceptive. It might
not feel so hot, so you probably won’t notice the damage being done so soon. As on every other day then, a
good strong sun cream should therefore be applied to any skin which is exposed. Make the most of the summer,
but treat the sun with the respect it deserves.
