Water heater not heating

[MtB]

At camp 6 on Everest they attempted to reduce the flow when having a pee in order to retain a bit of body heat and all they got for their troubles was frost bitten knobs, for exposing them for too long at - 52c.

 

 

I have to say, I found it disconcertingly cold at -8 Degrees C here the night before last here. (That was outside, not in the bote!)

 

Come 8am the wonderful bright rising sun beating on the starboard side of boat kept making loud cracks as the boat bent like a banana. Fair woke me up it did.

Nasty, if it doesn't retract again rub some viagra on the other side to equal it up.

Just did a quick google and there are over 200 bodies on Mt Everest, above a certain height nobody collects them, including "When snow cover is light, climbers have had to step over Paljor’s extended legs on their way to and from the peak.", his body having been there for over 20 years.

Blimey...!

 

Are they OK....?

Yes. who knows, perhaps in a hundred years time they will be able to bring them back from the dead.

Hi everyone! Thanks for all your replies! The boiler is working ok now. It was the cold weather that was the cause!

Water temp not as hot during winters of course but not lukewarm as it was this year, hence my topic posting!

But aren't they a bit "high" by now?

[Loafer]

They'll probably be 'food' by then!

On account of the Himalyas rising by 10(?) cms every year.

My actual comment above ( "Are they OK")...was based on an actual experience in the Rocky mountains.

 

We stopped in a frozen layby...by a slight incline.

 

The driver warned " Don't step on the incline...last year a Japanese tourist did that..he slid down the bank into the river and crashed under the ice.......they didn't find him for 3 months !"

 

This brought the response from my fellow (USA) travellers...

 

"Gee.....was he OK..?!!"
