It's a blog, not a government report, so what if they were a bit dramatic with it. I'm not sure of the blog you are talking about but if they were really fearing for their life (the impression you give me) then perhaps the blog is an accurate account based on how they
felt at the time, regardless if that danger was real or imagined.
Did you look for any other sources of information on the route before taking it? First thing I learnt in school was to always check multiple sources for information because 1 of them may be complete ********. Ok, I don't think that's how they taught it but it was a long time ago so I can't really remember.
