Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Dutchman to climb Everest in his boxers

Quote:
The phrase Dutch courage is a slang term for courage gained from intoxication by alcohol. It is synonymous with liquid courage.

Phrases using Dutch were created because the Netherlands used to be a rival to Britain (especially the Dutch East India Company), and generally these phrases containing "Dutch" show Dutch people in a bad light.

"used to be" ..... the way stanton goes on you'd think they still were. Wink

What's even more amazing is that the Brit isn't from Newcastle but Plymouth.

There is little difference between Plymouth and Newcastle.

They are both cold, windy, rainy, dirtpoor and depressing.

Ideal breeding grounds for subzero sportspeople.

Brit swims at North Pole

A British explorer has endured sub-zero temperatures to become the first person to swim at the North Pole.



Lewis Gordon Pugh, 37, swam one kilometre in 18 minutes and 50 seconds at minus 1.8C - the coldest waters a human has swum in.

The challenge was conducted in accordance with Channel Swimming Association Rules with Pugh wearing just a pair of Speedos, a cap and goggles.

Describing the moment he jumped in, he said: "The water was absolutely black. It was like jumping into a dark black hole. It was frightening.

"The pain was immediate and felt like my body was on fire. I was in excruciating pain from beginning to end and I nearly quit on a few occasions."

The City lawyer said the swim was a triumph but it was "a tragedy that it's possible to swim at the North Pole".

"I hope my swim will inspire world leaders to take climate change seriously," he told the BBC.

Pugh's incredible ability to withstand the icy cold has been developed over years of training.

Before he dives in, he spends around 15 minutes using mind power alone to superheat his body.

His pulse rate shoots up from 70 to 160 a minute and his temperature rises from 37C to 38.4, causing him to sweat profusely.

This enables him to withstand swimming in water so cold it would kill anyone else within seconds.
