I attended Outward Bound at a time when the instructors were all ex military. The chief instructor was a Major Andrian Hayter, a decorated soldier from WWII in Burma, who was a jungle warfare instructor during the Malaysian Emergency. We rowed a naval cutter ( Bligh used one) 40 miles because there was no wind. At the end I could tie my shoe laces without bending down two and a half tonnes of boat was not fun. At one stage we were trapped in a blizzard for five days, no one came looking for us and we just walked out at the end of it.
