An ironing board scandal on Ben Nevis (the most British phrase I’ve ever typed) has led me to discover the sport of extreme ironing, and I can’t stop laughing. “Battley is less interested in winning competitions than in “the sheer ridiculousness” of the sport. “I’m afraid that the iron doesn’t do a terribly good job of ironing clothes in the wilderness,” Battley told Mel, “…since you tend to put the item you’ve ironed back into the bag after the ironing anyway, so any gains are short-lived.””
