recollections
no.5 hydraulic
10/10

Our guide told us that we had encountered a ‘no.5 hydraulic’ in the river caused by the currents around rocks below the surface. I felt unhappy when I heard some of the students continuing to grumble about him, maybe even in a litigious way, though I had some sympathy with one of them, who had hurt her back. So we later sent a postcard to the firm saying that despite the dramatic flipover, we had found him to be a very good guide. I cannot remember his name.
