No doubt Snowdonia was tough,
Rough,
But we worked like a team
In the dream that is Wales
Some fails, but even more success,
Cos it’s not the result, it’s the process
There was no alienation,
Confrontation,
Aggravation,
Consternation,
Only cooperation
Because it’s not the destination
It’s the journey.
We all gave helping hands,
Feet,
Heads,
Lying on plastic sheet beds
Or under the stars
Like star-crossed lovers
Coming from all walks of life
Carpenter, resuscitation, paramedic
Students of every subject
Merging into the perfect team
Sheep, chickens, goats and cows,
Making vows to stay together
Forever and ever
A chemical romance
Neil and Caroline
Southgate and Three Lions
Fish ‘n’ chips, Weetabix
Fuelling our trek into lands untravelled
And when it all unravelled
Our spirits stayed high
With Nathan’s boombox
Jordan’s odd socks
Slipping on rocks
Battling through rapids,
Raging waterfall
Basketball
Slowly-sinking raft
Titanic
Don’t panic,
We’re in our learning zone
Never alone,
We hiked through the green green grass of home
Holding our own under the beating sun
And we had so much fun
Sure we didn’t have two in a canoe
Abseil into the abyss
No orienteering
But we loved our volunteering all the same
Playing table football
Games of trusting
Thrusting Domnika through
Webs of our own design,
Blind through the
Nightline, building tents on trust alone
Sure, it was an early trip home
We started as strangers
Finished as friends
But this isn’t where the journey ends.
