Thank you for sharing your story - thank goodness you made it to the caravan park when you did Regarding Michael Mosley’s tragic passing- he didn’t set out on a hike unprepared because he didn’t set out to do a hike in the first place . He was walking back to his accommodation ( about 2km away) but tragically took a wrong turn and ended up disoriented as the intense heat bore down on him . He had only been to that Island once before ( 8 years previously) and so was not familiar with area. He told his wife he did not feel well and so decided to walk the short distance back to their accommodation. It is an absolute tragedy that he went the wrong way at Pedi and found himself on a path that went up a rocky hill, that led him further and further away into more rocky landscape . So so sad
It breaks my heart to think about what happened to Dr Mosley, I adored him and am so grateful for his life’s work. It’s tragic and so very sad. 😥 we can deteriorate so quickly in the heat. Be safe x
Yes we cannot understand why Michael didn't turn back 30 minutes after walking into the hills from Pedi.. when he could see the path was not clear and he was exposed to immense heat and rocks. At that time he would have been thinking clearly. I think he did not have an understanding of where Symi town is... in relation to the Bay of Pedi. He must have been convinced that he was going in the right direction. Maybe he believed he could not get lost on a small island. Then later...as heatstroke started and there were no houses in sight he must have felt really unwell and worried. He did so well to keep walking when he was exhausted and dehydrated. So sad.
@@cathydyer3774 and maybe that high fence had been erected since he was last there, cutting him off from getting back to a busy area near a beach. a resort i think.
I am not sure if he had been there before ...but yes if there had not been a perimeter fence he may have managed to get help before he collapsed.@@acommentator4452
He was unprepared. He had a very small amount of water a litre and an umbrella. The reason he took a wrong turn is probably that he was hyperthermic . It takes only 10 minutes when temperature exceed 40 plus he couldnt sweat effectively because of the humidity and no shade . As soon as your core body temperature rises your brain is subject to confusion
Good advice. As an ex-pat Aussie in Italy I am often surprised at how Brits will take off sight-seeing in the heat of the day while the locals are taking a siesta. I think it is because they are not accustomed to our type of heat. 2 week heat wave of over 35 temps at the moment. It is important to not exert oneself and stick to shady areas in the mid-day sun. Yes, Dr Mosely's death was so tragic. I learnt about him only after his fateful walk and couldnt understand why a doctor would take off in the heat of the day in Greece. I think he was unwell and disoriented as he started his walk and the heat and exhaustion made it worse. He seemed such a lovely human being. Such a shame that he passed this way. R.I.P.
Thanks for your comment 😊. You reminded me of when I lived in Darwin for a time and assumed the work hours would differ to colder parts of the continent so people didn’t have to work outdoors through the heat of the day, but I was wrong, they kept the same hours and it was hard yakka. Stay safe, RIP Dr Mosley.
@acommentator4452 He must have put in an all out effort to get down that rocky Hillside, knowing he was almost safe, but overcome by faintness. Hope he felt he was going to be ok as he fainted. It can get you really quickly, just a short walk when it's really hot.
In France i was hiking in the countryside in the middle of the day, I was confident I could buy more supplies at the Intermarché but it was closed and soon after on the way back to camp I quickly ran out of water..it was so hot and I could feel the strength quickly fading..I had to beg a family at their house for water which they thankfully provided (bless them!), you are so right, things can happen!
@@Elephantsss yes, we have less life experience when we're young and we make choices based on what we know. That's why I wanted to share my experience so that others learn from it.
One of the main lessons I learned from this was the vital importance of bringing a map, having dependable people who'll come and get you if you run into trouble, and getting clear, precise, and reliable instructions from responsible, ethical people who truly know what they're talking about. Those people who gave you those initial directions on navigating the McDonnell range were bloody irresponsible giving you such vague, imprecise directions!
I’m glad you got something out of this 😊. They weren’t being irresponsible, just sharing their experience with me and I’m responsible for not following up to get more precise info before the walk. Lesson learned.
Michael Mosley did take an umbrella against the heat and water. It is thought he had a heart attack. Most likely why he didn't feel well and was heading back to the holiday home. He would have certainly taken the Covid shots as he worked for the BBC and we now know there is an avalanche of strokes, heart attacks etc due to the experimental jabs. However the advice you have given here is sound and worth taking note of.
In Brisbane Australia, even though we are prepared for a walk, our group don't walk if the heat and humidity forecast is too high. Plus, we avoid walking in our rainforests during the hot 5 months of summer (Oct - Feb) - too many ticks.
That sounds sensible 😊. I lived in Brissy for a time but spent more time in northern NSW and the ticks can be bad there too, particularly paralysis ticks. Don’t get them in Perth but do get Kangaroo ticks, which can be tiny and if they get you the bite area can be itchy for months and have made a couple of my colleagues really sick.
During extreme heat waves people often walk their dogs early in order to avoid burnt paws Even at 5.30-6 am you need to take water and adjust your pace if it's over 30c I always respect the heat RIP Dr Mosley,one of my favourite tv doctors
Yes, good point and I’ve heard that dogs can easily overheat without their human realising. I walk our dogs in the cool of the day for sure 👍🏼. 🫶🏻Dr Mosley.
Mosley walked up a hill & down the other side, a relatively short distance. He was on a marked path but may have deviated to take the shortest route down. Locals found it hard to believe that anyone could get lost & he was probably within sight of the yacht club from the top of the hill. It's probable he suffered a debilitating cardiac arrest.
thank you for this information and timely warning. here in the uk the bbc is having a 'just one thing' day, in honour of dr michael mosely. people are sharing what they have changed in their daily lives, just one thing, inspired by dr michael. i have joined a gym, in my 60s; never been in one before, and just try to keep moving. also a few years ago i started taking a supplement that he said might be good for the macular part of the eye.
You’re welcome 💚. That is so lovely that they are having a ‘just one thing’ day. I have listened to his Fast 800 Keto audio book so often that he is now the voice in my head for health. It was so sad to listen after he passed and I still get sad every time his voice pops into my head, but I’m so grateful to him for all the wisdom he imparted. That’s great that you’ve joined a gym, I hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of it and hope the supplement has improved things for you too. Thanks for your comment 😊.
Thanks for telling us about all your mistakes. I had a bad experience walking out of Petra with not enough water. The weather was way too hot but it was the day we were due to do that walk. I finished the walk with heat stroke and tipped the last of my water on my head because my brain felt like it was cooking. A better hat would have helped. We can never foresee what’s going to happen so always take more water than you think you’ll need.
You’re welcome, thanks for your comment 😊 I can relate to that feeling. A hat to keep the sun off is great, though when I work outdoors in the heat I find my hat makes me extra hot. It’s so nice to tip water on my head when I get that hot and take a break in the shade 🫶🏻
People underestimate heat. I live in the Sonoran Desert in the American SouthWest here in Phoenix Arizona. It's 41C today and often in the heat of summer over 43C. With Global warming older people and the homeless are dying in the city much less hiking in the wild.
In America we don’t call it a walk. We call it a hike or going hiking. A walk is super simple, usually in your own neighborhood. A hike is something else altogether. A hike is like a very intense walking activity over a mountain and through forests, etc. It’s something in the wilderness.
Good to share the experience. I was in a desert area in Mexico and noticed the women carried golf-type umbrellas with reflective fabric. Nowadays a PLB is affordable.
Morley’s death will go down as another great mystery, a doctor would have known all about heat stroke and dehydration yet he choose to return to his hotel miles away with little water on the hottest part of the day taking the most unorthodox route and the fact his body was found yards away from a busy area it went undiscovered for days by the search party
Orange widerimmed hat, whistle, solar charger for mobile, collabsible sticks, sunglasses, painkillers, weartwo pairs of socks to prevent blisters, walking boots, loose clothing, WATER in one liter bottles, tell people where you are going and start early. Never alone. Happy trekking from Norway🇳🇴
absooolutely correct, two years ago a young woman in her 30 went for a run at 13.oo in a 40degree heat up north, she never came back, they found her 1km away from th camp.
@@LifeintheBush one can rent a satelite phone from RAC here in Western Australia. My friend goes for the Bibbulmun Track (Perth to Albany 1000km) and this is what she does.
Very good advice but one additional comment. Mobile phones can be useless in remote areas where little or no signal. A satellite phone or an emergency bleeper is recommended in those areas.
Both good ideas 👍🏼 SOS is the only morse code I know, we’ll sort of… I know one of the letters is dot dot dot and the other is dash dash dash so I figure if I ever needed to use it I’d just repeat over and over. Haven’t had to use it yet but actually don’t think many people know Morse code these days 🤷🏼♀️.
Very helpful video :) . My Dr partner worked in Australia for a while and he just loves heat. He would make me go on long walks which would nearly kill me lol . I hate heat. When I collapsed from heat and dehydration he had no idea what to do ! I never fully recovered from that day so this is important stuff ..
You're welcome, thank you for your comment. I don't know if the juice was a good idea at the time or not, these days I'd choose a mineral salt/electrolyte powder mixed in water over juice. Yes, the tour guides at were advising people to drink at least a litre per hour and that is still the advice 🙂 Here is some good info - nt.gov.au/parks/safety-rules/beat-the-heat
You might be right, I’m not sure if it was a good or bad idea at the time. These days I take water and electrolyte powder with me if I’m going to be in the outdoors during the heat 👍🏼😊
Oooo yes, good point 😊 I remember doing this as an experiment for science in high school. I remember it took a long time to get a small amount of water but better than nothing 👍🏼
And even if you carry enough water, you should also bring electrolytes. If you drink several litres of pure water, you will lose important minerals through your sweat, which is very dangerous. I always bring dissolvable electrolyte tablets.
@@LifeintheBushi had a scary walk once myself in the heat in Crete. Easy path but suddenly I got a fast heartbeat and felt really exhausted for no apparent reason. Luckily I was not too far from people. I turned around and could get water and food after a while. But after this I always make sure I have enough water and electrolytes 😊 I didn't think so much about it at that time in 2015.
I’m so glad you were okay, things can change quickly. I have a container of electrolyte powder in the cupboard now too and use it when I’m working in the field or even in the garden, or going for a long walk. Didn’t think to mention it in the video. 😊
Mad dogs and Englishmen-comes to mind. In extreme heat-it's the air that is hot as well-you step outside-it's like opening an oven door. Lived in Alice in 1982.
Luckily you were okay. Mosely was apparent;y a diabetic type 2 and although allegedly into health he ate meat and dairy which would have not helped his diabetes.
He wrote.... the 8 week blood sugar diet...pharma industry did not like that..... of course he had no diabetes anymore and yes meat is no problem at all !

Very scary experience for you. Must have been awful and very frightening for Dr Mosley knowing he'd made a grave mistake getting lost.
It upsets me so much to think about what happened to Dr Mosley. 😥 be safe x
he might not have known. he might have felt tired and sat down and just lost consciousness

Very sad for him as he was so healthy and could have lived a long life
Yes, very sad 😥. They had a lovely special tribute to him on SBS last week; he was very much loved and respected.

I am sorry but I cannot understand anyone wanting to go on a hike in very high temperatures!
