    It’s not really that exciting,

    Mate. That’s exciting as fuck.

      I think we ran on adrenaline, fear, and cigarettes for about seven / eight hours… numb, in a kind of autopilot. Apart from the pressure of a fighting force that we never actually encountered it was like a really aggressive hitchhike ride through some extremely gnarly terrain in an underdeveloped country. It sounds far more exciting, and heroic, than it genuinely was.

      But, yeah, between you and me I do think it was a cool as fuck thing to do - and survive…
