Plenty of water. No dehydration. Just body temp off the scale. Start of heat stroke. Was 30 degrees on Sun, so you can imagine.

It was freezing - added to a raised body temp it was something of a shock. Pavey's wife told me later about a bloke choppered out of the desert on the Dakar with heatstroke to hospital and placed in an ice bath.
Nice.
