@Liam: This answer here looked better and hence more suited to the question being asked. Your answer is also good, it being a very generic say about Hypothermia and its symptoms. The other answer directs well towards to what is being asked. I hope you are not offended if I take that up. +1 to you :)

Turns out the path they were walking on simply collapsed
Alos
*A week ago, mountain gendarmes intercepted an Austrian climber at 3,200 meters on Mont-Blanc who was trying to ascend with his five-year-old son and had reached an altitude where the temperature was minus 20C and the winds around 150kmph.*
*"What was awful was that the gendarmes were forced to argue with the man to convince him to turn around. We're not even sure that he won't make another attempt," said Jean-Marc Peillex, mayor of nearby St-Gervais-les-Bains.*
@Ahlqvist Yeah, apparently it's a very common route and it simply collapsed. The guide had no chance to hold all five. Could argue there should of maybe been more guides..but yeah seems like a freak accident
@Liam it is one of the muscles in your hip which can get strained due to other muscles being tight... hamstrings, back, glutes... so it's basically a case of I need a full lower body workout
@Ahlqvist I kayak currently on my local canal as it is the closest body of water... will also river and sea kayak but unlikely to white water. I have the Thames nearby :)
@Aravona My girlfriend printed off a list of the highest mountains in wales yesterday and has now pinned them on the wall. She wants to tick them all off
@Liam makes sense. I want to climb mountains outside the UK but I've only done Snowdon twice ... started aged 22 now am 25 so plenty of time left to practise and get there :)
I'm supposed to be making new git repositoriesfor our new project but I think I shall write my second equipment review and then rewrite my snowdon blog post :)
@Liam those mountains are great fun though thats where we got snowed on and rained on but loved it... stood on the ege of a sheer drop in the snow by an abandoned slate mining village? Not much like that around! Amazing.
@WedaPashi it's an ok question - blood pressure is only something a handful of people would consider important. Plus his question is about 'balancing' blood pressure which garlic doesn't do - nothing balances it, only raises or drops it.
Nothings balances BP, and diet can control it easily. Cayenne pepper is way better than Garlic though
The issue is everything works 'in some people' ... I am on the contraceptive pill which is supposed to raise blood pressure... mine hasn't changed in 9 years.
Does garlic balance your blood pressure? Do we need to take that in case we have a long walk through a jungle for 2 days? Does anyone have experience on this?
@Ahlqvist Your blood pressure can drop a lot. That's why you take salt tablets and drink lots. Dyhydration lowers blood pressure because there is less fluid in your veigns
@Ahlqvist I would say blood pressure is only an issue on a trek or in a jungle etc if you have a preexisting issue... otherwise it is less likely to affect you.
Whilst blood pressure changes are an issue you are unlikely to let yourself get massively dehydrated anyway. When you are on a planned and controlled trek that is, not talking suvival without any gear.
@Liam exactly... a good BMI, diet and fitness will keep you going better than Garlic.
Plus would one not have to drag a bunch of garlic pills or cloves all over the jungle...? Garlic for less insect bites though... but you need to eat it daily for months for an effect.
@aravona: Oh sorry! I messed up the badges. 80 "Suggested Edits" will get a "Strunk and White" badge
@aravona: 80 helpful flags will get you "Deputy", a good number of "Deputy" badges allotted to users is this site should have. Helps to keep the site clean from obsolete and un-necessary stuff.
@Ahlqvist that is true whilst you have decent signal and battery... when those die out it can be a pain... especially when your phone is over a year old.
Yeah. It depends a bit on what type of geocaching you do as well. Just take a cache in the city when you have some time to kill = phone and app is great. Caches out in the forest or taking caches all day long = gps is better.
@Ahlqvist due tocost of GPSs we use phones eith the app even in forests but with a downloaded offline map of that area. We do 6-7 caches over a few hours that way.
@WedaPashi that other tracking app you suggested a while back is good :) I also have the OS Locate app now too
Does garlic balance your blood pressure on long walks?
Garlic is proven to lower blood pressure. Not balance it. Though this study also suggests that the this reduction was not large enough to be statistically significant. So no garlic does not balance blood pressure, neither does it (scien...

The Bloody Bluetooth Low Energy module has driven me nuts :X The document is so damn hard and lengthy and deteriorating that everything I read these days makes me feel like "There is more to it, Don't just jump to conclusion Mr. Holmes, read between the lines" :( :-(

Just kidding, really sick stories in that article, thx for posting.
13 deaths in less then a month close to Mont Blanc is sick
I recently read a story from two guys who climbed Mont Blanc and when they came back to the hut they were totally excited and said it was their first climb on a mountain. They gave a special hint to the guys in the hut like if it's an extreme insider: "Use crampons!"
There is also a waste problem on Mont Blanc and last year I think they banned camping. They are maybe going to only allow ascending the mountain when you use a local mountain guide...
