It happened when I was in the ATC. During a summer camp at RAF Oakington (Varsity's) one day we were dumped at various locations around Oakington (Exercise Manmaker) and briefed that we were downed aircrew in enemy territory with the authorities looking for us but the locals were friendly.
So armed with a map and a clue we had to find our way to the next check-point where we were given a clue to the location of the next check-point and so on until we found our way back to Oakington. Whenever we saw a vehicle approaching us we had to hide just in case it was 'the authorities'. One bloke dived into a ditch that was deeper than he was tall and broke his ankle.
At one point our group got a lift on the back of a locals tractor/trailer to close to the next check point, passing a couple of other groups on the way. When they got to the check point they "grassed us up". The result was we got extra points for using our initiative and they lost points for not doing so!
