I always used to laugh at those stories about people driving into the sea because they mindlessly followed the Satnav.

Today we picked up some visitors from the train station. We took a nice Satnav detour on the way home to see more of the countryside. This detour took us onto increasingly more “rural” tracks until we came to a dead end in the middle of fields of green.

I had one of those awkward 10 point turns to avoid getting stuck in a ditch. But, hey, the visitors were very happy to laugh nervously at our misadventures.

And I’ll show a little bit more mercy in the future towards my fellow Satnav Slaves.
