Nicknames
Every tour brings with it new nicknames for its participants. So far we have three:
MG: This one belongs to Rachel who has astounded us with her dexterity on slopes and climbs of all descriptions. Thus "Mountain Goat" seems an apt appellation.
CB: A new nickname for Samuel since we have entered the Top End. When he lags behind on bush walks and hikes, we call out "Come on, CB!" which results in him scurrying to catch up... He has no desire to be real Croc Bait!
NSOD: "I would have turned left at that corner," she says... "I thought we were camped over there," she cries. "Can you take me to the toilets (again!)" (she can't find them - light or dark!) You don't even have to turn her around in the bush five times to lose her. And so Ev gets NSOD = No Sense of Direction. I believe she thinks we are still only five minutes from home!
