"Before I knew it, it was like an Action Man jungle and I did not know how to get out. It became bad choice after bad choice after bad choice."
This was my favorite quote. Maybe after 3 pints of stout he thought he was Action Man for a little while there. Then he realized he was more like Malibu Ken. I do feel sorry for the guy because he thought he was somewhere familiar. It just goes to show you that even the most benign seeming areas can be dangerous.
Also, why do drunks always want to go walking around cliff tops? The Red River Gorge in Kentucky is full of cliffs and is one of the sport climbing meccas of the eastern US. Every year it seems, one of more people fall to their death in the Gorge. The majority of the time they were from outside the area, intoxicated, walking around in the dark, or all of the above. I realize the British guy didn't fall but it just makes me wonder My friends and I were known to take a bottle to the Gorge with us and sit around a fire, but we knew better than to wander around after drinking.
