Rough Bounds is inspired by stories of human endeavour - many were ordinary people who dedicated their time to something extraordinary.
Their passion, belief and tenacity helped them achieve what others thought was impossible.
These were people who challenged themselves, who never took the easy path or cut corners. They knew that nothing worthwhile comes easy.
They were the pioneers, the innovators and visionaries. They were formidable, different, strong people - the women and men who trained in the Rough Bounds and took their place in history.

"On one occasion, while trying to mine Benghazi harbour, Maclean posed as an Italian officer and, in fluent Italian, roundly berated the sentries for inattention while mounting sentry duty. Seemingly a man oblivious to danger and with nine lives, Maclean had his only near brush with death after a car crash resulting from Stirling's reckless style at the wheel"
