Chris Wilson Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Can anyone under 20, and not affiliated with the armed services, guides or scouts actually read a map and compass properly these days? When the balloon goes up and the satellites shut down, no one except those of my age, and too old to get far on foot anyway, will be able to get out of their own back yard I find a £2.50 map from any petrol station quite adequate for finding my way anywhere, cigarette lighter sockets are for cigarette lighters...

tooquicktostop Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Dont you find it a bit of a distraction having the map to read and driving, how can it be that you cant take a call with your phone but you can read a map I remember too many rows with my ex wife map reading and pointing out required junctions 100 yards after we have passed them Chris is this of any use to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, he is i was sort of hoping i was getting picked up from there WHERE? Rich ohhhhh yes, fyi getting picked up in bideford (as the thread says) i only "technicly" know you and anja so looking forward to meeting you two (dont know the rest) Don't worry we will collect you Oh right; the pleasures all mine:p must read threads lol Rich Yes you should yeah, could help bidefords about 30mins down the road from me, you need to go through it to get to bude (anja says so could be wrong lol) so theres no point in me driving to cornwall and back again, so i am just meeting up in biddy So the route we selected depicts at the moment yes. It's all in the correct thread hunny. I find a £2.50 map from any petrol station quite adequate for finding my way anywhere, cigarette lighter sockets are for cigarette lighters...
