Hope you have a good, old fashioned GPS (or perhaps a map and compass) as backup. Keep on walking, dude! Sverre.

Our (northern) bodies are simply not made for heat. We tackle cold, but not heat. I remember one day we walked in the sun, my heart beat at 130-140 beats per minute. Normally in cooler conditions, it beat at 80-90 beats per minute. That's 40-50 beats per minute straight out of the window, the body attempting rid itself of the heat. It is not worth the strain walking right after noon. Sounds like a good idea Robert: to start walking early, rest while the sun is too hot, and continue walking in the afternoon/evening.
