A long time ago, when we were at Edith Cavell and stayed overnight in the trees so nobody could see us there, my brother took a couple of pots to a stream coming off the glacier. My wife and I were out walking around and I spotted him washing his hair and I said to myself, self, that's great idea. So I went to where he was and told him that I would do the same. He said ok and left me the pots. Well, I got my hair wet with some very cold water, shampooed and then began rinsing and rinsing and rinsing. I had an ice cream headache for a week and a half after that. I found out, many years later, that he had heated some water in the camper and used that to wash and rinse with a bit of cold water added. Just a warning to you who might want to do the same thing as I did. That water coming off the glacier is "COLD".
