to use the vernacular.
you mate are a phucking idiot!!
oops sorry played the man again. (too may years of ice hockey and one on one)
canyons although not exactly my cup of tea are just big natural quite pretty stormwater drains. havent
you ever stood in a canyon and thought how big and deep they are i wonder how they got here. mmm
maybe big phuck off amounts of water and how did that 10 ton log get up there. wouldnt want to be in
here during a flash flood.
adventure is also about using judgement not ignoring the signs. The natural ones and ones erected by
the people
who are saying we dont think you should go in here because we dont want to go in and get you out
when you are huddled on a ledge looking for your epirb or praying.
