Well ... you sort of know me - and one of my hobbies was Orienteering. We had to know exactly how read and handle maps perfectly - it's a skill I have never lost.

Maps are more efficient than SatNavs any day of the week!

Perhaps you could use one to find your way out.

Well said, Tabby.

They will be overcome with admiration at the skills you have, and they haven't.

There's a great deal of difference from finding your way across fields and forests and navigating roads with a map.

We still had to be competent in map reading - I find them fascinating.

Now if you turn 90 degrees and take a few paces forward - you will find the exit!

When you say orienteering, do you mean walking down to the local Chinese? Surely you didn't need a map for that?
