Some quotes from the whole trip:

  • Someone discusses lazily: "I don't know what we're going to do this winter - North Wales perhaps, the Conwy? Gamlan? etc.?"
    Until someone else points out: "You haven't finished here yet mate..."
  • "It's a bit like being on a scary roller-coaster, but you have to sort it out for yourself".
  • Rich: "I'm not scared until I think I'm going to die"
  • "If you follow my line you will be fine; if you don't, you won't."
    Matt trying to suggest that she can walk if she wants to - although I think the message was lost in translation between Matt's world and the rest of the world.
    (Day 13 on the Raundelsaelva.)
