Wednesday - A Farewell to Arms

The conversations the team has!

Ted had watched 'Touching the Void' the other night and took delight in telling the team every gruesome detail. This led Gareth to recount the news item from a while back about the climber who'd trapped his arm under a rock and had then hacked it off using a penknife to escape.

The team was split into those who would be able to do the same and those who just couldn't do it. There was then some debate as to what people would be willing to lose - apparently, little toes score very lowly as bodily parts.

"What appendages would you cut off to avoid death?" Dan asked Jez when he wandered into the vicinity.

"Any of yours," was Jez's reply.
