Re: Chinwaggers

I always look to the sky for my navigation Joy but i always get my directions wrong even when i'm out shopping.. When coming out of a shop many a time i start walking the wrong way and have to stop and get my bearings.

Question...if they made sat nav for walkers would it be accurate i wonder ?

Re: Chinwaggers

lol! Might know you'd look to the stars Valley!!

Sat Nav for walkers? Wonder why no-ones thought of that one!

Will say goodnight Chinwaggers and see you all tomorrow.

Re: Chinwaggers

Joy darlin' have seen one - you can buy an App for your 'mobile 'phone' which does precisely that.

Re: Chinwaggers

Good Morning all from a not so sunny Spain.
As a none driver I too walk everywhere,however I don't need a satnav as I really have a very good sense of direction.
My car owning friends like to have me with them to " navigate" in case they get "lost". They never do when I am with them.
Where did I get this sense of direction from?My only thought is that I like reading maps & have a love of geography.I do agree though looking at the sky is also a big help.That is all our ancestors did cos they had no option.
Natures way.

Going out now for the weekly shop & sure to get back safely.ha!ha!

Re: Chinwaggers

I've done my good morning on the other thread

My hubby seems to have a compass in the end of his nose, whereas if there is choice of which way to go, i'll always choose the wrong one, and if I change my mind on the strength of that, it'll still be the wrong choice lol

Where we used to live we had nearly 3 acres of woodland behind the house, it was a standing joke that I managed to get lost in there.

Another time I happened to be following my husband home in the car, then found I had managed to follow a similar car to a completely different area. Somehow or other I managed to find my way home on my own.

I have no sense of direction either. Failed Geography O level.

It can actually be very frightening. When OH was dying in hospital, I HAD to travel by bus for the first time in decades .... and alone.
Very very scary to begin with but a year and a bit on and I'm not bad at it. I still forget which bus goes where but have not caught the wrong one for ages and I no longer get embarrassed if I have to ask.

Haven't driven for decades because we once had a VW camper and it was too big for me. Gave up and have no wish to start again, not that I could afford it anyway.

My brother's taking me to town for a new radio/cd player.
I've had 2 dab radios which have been pretty rubbish and cut out when they like....must be my area. It's only for the kitchen so just need something cheap. Back later,have a lovely day whatever you're doing x

Re: Chinwaggers

I bought a really cheap clock radio, for the front room from Tesco's and it's surprisingly good and small.

I only listen to speech radio so no idea what it's like for musac

Re: Chinwaggers

Helloooooo Chinwaggers

Hope you're feeling better today Rachel.

No chance of me getting lost today, no plans to go anywhere apart from to the local shops. I WILL start to worry if I can't find my way there.

Thanks UJ for the app info. I'll remember that, IF I remember my phone in the first place!!!

Catch you later folks.

Re: Chinwaggers

After not going home for a year my hubby brought me a sat nav and said maybe now you can find your way home.......
Before I had one the first time I drove from cornwall to south of france I was terrified I had my dog and cat in the back and my neighbour came in just before I left with 10 sandwhiches for the journey ..... I said 10 !! yes she said because I know you will get lost so they will keep you going for a couple of days ... cheeky mare ....
