"Nah, not too far. It's a large river, but not so large that we could hear it miles away." Sulu squeezed Ianto's hand briefly, grinning as he moved alien fronds out of their path towards the riverbank. "Probably only a few hundred yards at most. Just over those hills, you know?"
He continued to try and clear their path as they walked; he had no interest in cutting away the overgrowth - that was a little too adventure-story for him, and he didn't want to be that kind of guy in front of Ianto. Well, okay, maybe he did, but he still was sort of embarrassed by how much fun he could have tromping around a forest, looking for rare and alien plants. It definitely altered his cool, put-together image, that was for sure, and even if Ianto knew he was a complete nerd, that didn't mean he wanted to completely show it off. So, no Treasure Island, cutting a path out for them antics here. "And by the way? I wasn't even close to pretending to crash into the ship."
