‘If you don’t spend 90 per cent of your time on an expedition wishing you weren’t on an expedition then it’s not an expedition… it’s a holiday’ — Andy Torbet

‘Unless you cry and/or bleed at some point (preferably not together), it’s not an adventure’ — Jenny Tough

Sometimes, the most emotive affairs, the intriguing events that allow us to see what it really means to be human, take place afterwards. When night falls; when the dust has settled, the final embers of the fire are dwindling, and the storm has passed and left a trail of devastation in its wake. All is changed. Nothing will ever be the same again.
