By
HYPOTHERMIA Dr Mind, Dr Body, Dr Eye 2016 What is hypothermia? Hypothermia is defined as a body core temperature less than 35 C. Decreased consciousness occurs when the core temperature falls to approximately 32 to 30 C. Normal body temperature is 37.2 C Who is at risk for developing hypothermia? WE ALL ARE!!!

And did those feet

By Je Scanlon
As another winter approaches let us remember the Icebergers who have left us to swim..  Lyrics by Ted Baillieu; And did those feet in ancient times walk upon Brighton's bravest pier, And did the holy speedo god in Brighton's freezing water cheer, And did his countenance bovine shine forth upon those ageing crocks, And was icebergery founded here around these dark volcanic rocks, Bring me my cap & rubber-hood, Bring me my budgies of desire, Bring me my gear, I'm feeling good, Bring me the sauna and then fire, I will not cease through wind or wave, nor shall the cold hold any fear, Till we have swum all temperatures in Brighton's winter water clear.. And Did Those Feet In Ancient Times... from Brooksy Films on Vimeo .
