This seems a common theme - youngsters seeking to escape, mentally and physically. Those who make it don't always survive. Read The Outrun by Amy Liptrot for an excellent account of someone almost killed by reaching an island's escape velocity.
By the way, @BeauNidle, I reckon I'm ready for a Gloucester gig. It's been in my mind. Looking at September. What you reckon?
