Compass

[MaryN]

It took me ages to get to grips with a compass (I used to get lost in Woolworths - no sense of direction at all!). I used to argue the toss with the OK, and could never understand why points on the compass were different depending where you were. What was the point of the thing? But, he persevered with me and fitted me a nice little compass in the Defender (just in case). Then, one day on a long trip I got thoroughly lost. I had no idea what road Iwas on, or where exactly I was. Bizarrely, I new roughly where I was in relation to a map of the country. So, quite panicked, I set my little compass on the direction I knew I was supposed to be going in and set off. Lo and behold, I hit the right road and everything fell into place.

I'm a convert now. Knickers to the GPS.
