5th April. We are Go! for Hypothermia.

Dropped in at the sports shop in the retail park that specialises mainly in Chav-wear. However it wasn't a complete drug dealing outfit I walked out with, it was a couple of rather fetching silicone bathing caps.
One might have been enough but the imagined numbing sensation of pain in the forehead from the waters of the Earn convinced me that a doubling up of rubber would be the safer option.

Yes, provisionally we're on for the premier immersion in the River tomorrow evening. Stuart has agreed to take on the role of a stand-by bouyancy-aid in exchange for Barbecued Chicken at 'The Foundry'. It'll be the acid test for the rubber Gimp suit and also my heart.

Judging by other hypothermic experiences in notably warmer waters such as the pacific coast of Mexico, full circulation may not be restored until after the bank holiday...
