Didn't he just have a mobile phone, or something?

remarkable that none of them noticed - I thought they always had each other's backs? Baldric can probably explain, I think he was a Marine

[Prudie]

Let's see if he passes out successfully before we worry about how he'll deal with terrorists.

Baldric can probably explain


Explain what?

Disorientation can have many causes, am sure they'll discover what went wrong.

I think it was bad weather that disorientated him rather than the dark. If you have ever been on a Devon moor in bad weather you might know how poor the visability can be (I have been driving across Exmoor at Rayleighs Cross and had to get out of my car and run up the road to see where the junction is that I need to take because I couldn`t even see the cat`s eyes or the signpost and I know that road like the back of my hand). He was only a trainee after all.

There would be no mobile phone signal in the middle of Dartmoor.
