Andrew Clough set off on what was meant to be the trip of a lifetime, but after a vehicle breakdown in Egypt's Western Desert he found himself stranded with a nomadic guide, walking nearly 100 kilometres through extreme heat with almost no water in a desperate fight to stay alive.

In this episode of Life by Misadventure, Andrew recounts the journey from carefree backpacker to survival mode, sharing the mistakes that led him there, the hallucinations, exhaustion and impossible decisions along the way, and the remarkable rescue that allowed him to continue travelling the world for years afterwards.

It is a story about resilience, perspective and the extraordinary lengths people will go to when every step could be their last, reminding us that sometimes the only way through life's hardest moments is simply to keep moving forward.
