Hydration after a day in the hills.

I was thinking the other day after returning from the hills, if having a
bath will help hydration. I always have a bath after a day in the hills,
mainly to relief my aching legs. But will having a bath kill two birds with
one stone?

I think drinking a big glass of water while you are in the bath would
be rather more effective than relying on cellular diffusion.

Not unless you drink it.
Water on the hill. Whisky or Stella when you get back. No aches.
Or, if you are unlucky and manage to hurt your muscles, get her
indoors to massage them with very warm sandalwood amber tamanu massage
oil.

Black Pepper oil makes a very good massage for aching muscles - but whatever
you do, DO NOT put it in the bath!!

Not a good idea for rehydration. Alcohol in any form is a diuretic, so you
?lose? more water than contained in the drink.

Since the other half is "her /out/doors" it seems it's me doing the
massaging a lot of the time. Arnica oil is the preferred weapon for
aching muscles.

That's why you drink water on the hill. Then you don't get dehydrated.
The whisky/Stella when you get back home is not for hydration, it's to
enhance the day's pleasure. Better still, don't go home after the
walk. Go straight to the pub.

That's also therapeutic!

I've not tried it, but I believe it's good for all kinds of aches and
pains.

I know the Medical School's first aid trainer and he carries arnica
tablets for bruising, and he reports Tayside MRT do as well (or at least
members thereof).
I dislocated my thumb skiing a couple of years ago, not badly (the
tendons had pulled it back into place in a few minutes, but it still
hurt!) and with liberal application of arnica oil over the rest of the
week provided by a friend and lots of ice (no shortage if you're skiing,
of course) there was very little swelling or further discomfort. I
didn't feel inclined to running a control experiment with the other
thumb so can of course not be sure it was a Big Help, but it struck
everyone at the time that had seen my hands differently shaped that
there was remarkably little swelling for the bump it had taken.

We saw plenty of the flowers in the alps in August. We planned a
leisurely day, after four or five really strenuous walks, so we went
on what was described as a 4 hour nature walk with a local nature
guide, assuming it would be a valley stroll, looking at the flora and
fauna. In fact it turned into an 8 hour high level hike, and the guy -
an excellent companion and superb walker - knew very little about
nature:
Us: What's that then?
Willi: No idea. Pick it and we'll look it up later.
Us: Pick it?
Willi: Sure. There are lots of them.

Weigh yourself before and after the bath. If you absorb any water you
should weigh heavier after. QED

Strange as it may seem, I've actually tried that with my nifty digital
scales, and I pick up ~200g (0.2 Kg) having a shower- however all of it
goes away again when I dry my hair. 8>.

Drinking 440 Mls of Strongbow cider puts it up by 0.44Kg, and it doesn't
go away until ... nah, we don't want to go there ..

IME, a bath after returning from the hills tends to reduce weight,
depending on how much mud is attached.

Ha ha! This is true, Bill!

One of these days I'll get around to finding that photo of me with
shoulder length hair and cheesecloth shirt, and post it for your

Oh but we have, haven't we? :-)

Do you check % body fat, and do you get an interesting fuctulation from
morning to night?

Mine will start at 25/26% in the morning, falling to 20/21 by bedtime.

I attribute it mainly to the hydration/dehydration changing.
