wohooo the adventures continue so cool. But a pity that this exploration did not reveal an inhabitable landscape. Yes, not every endeavour is crowned with success. At least Eyre survived, unlike some other explorers.
This section is totally PL ok. Well narrated, I enjoyed it very much. Thank you, and great to see this project moving along again.

thank you, for an official statement, Chris. I'll keep the project afloat for the time being, waiting for you to be back in full force. NYE sounds like a good plan - of course you didn't mention which year
Well...I'll be around.
Have a good weekend, relaxing hopefully. I plan to have the same.
Hi Chris, just wanted to ask for another short bimonthly update from you. Let's hope you are soon back in the saddle to continue here. I definitely look forward to hearing more about Australian exploring...
Chris is taking a hiatus and asked me to put the project on hold per email on January 3, 2022

No, I meant backing it up to the saved area that we recovered it from when I went to work on it for a while again after a previous hiatus. (I thought I was using the wrong word with ‘archive’).

Let's try to finish the project as group effort. It was such an interesting book and the sections so far were well done, it would be a pity to let them get abandoned.

Can I take this one please.
thank you for helping out here, Craig. The section is assigned to you. Looking forward to hearing it. (though the title sounds like a gruesome read)
Please note that this is section 10, which is important for the filenaming. You can say "Chapter 10" in the intro though, which is how Chris started and we will keep that way to stay identical to the rest of the intros.

Not sure if I have this right. I understand the file is named as 10, but I have assumed that I should be saying Chapter 9 in the recording. Obviously I can change this is if that is not correct.

ehm, yes, sorry...you're right. I meant it's section 10 in the filename, but Chapter 9 in the intro.
Will PL later on, thank you for the fast turn-around.
phew....this expedition was really doomed. Poor men, dying of starvation and hopelessness.
Excellently narrated though, thank you so much. I only found 3 small edits to make:
> at 1:20: (p. 144) "Mr. Edmund B. Kennedy" - you say "R."
> at 4:20: (p. 146) "the Tam o' Shanter" - you say "Tom"
> at 7:23: (p. 147) repeat, can be cut: "till their enmity"
I guess you are preparing yourself for a pub visit for New Year's Eve now Have fun, see you next year

Jim ! hi happy to have you join the project. And as always, jumping to the rescue with taking a huge section. I do hope you can manage in under 74 minutes, judging by some other chapters length/page count, this is getting tricky.
Thank you, and I hope you have a good start in the new year as well.
so cool. But a pity that this exploration did not reveal an inhabitable landscape. Yes, not every endeavour is crowned with success. At least Eyre survived, unlike some other explorers. 
Have fun, see you next year
