If it ain't snowin' there, we ain't goin' there.
The world's largest hypothermia clinic opened today, at the "Original Mountain Marathon" in Britain's Lake District. Per the Beeb, "According to the website the run was founded in 1968 and it being (sic) the 'originator of the two-day mountain marathon type event'. It involves teams of two, carrying all clothing, equipment, tent, sleeping bag, and their food for 36 hours, during the run. They must also navigate their own route and camp out overnight. The website goes on to say that the OMM is 'the premier UK event to test teamwork, self-reliance, endurance, outdoor and navigational skills. The reputation of the event is worldwide and every year we have entrants from between 12-14 countries.'"

Things are not going well.
