Where did you say it was?

 

It does actually make sense to stop, review where you are and take in having checked your map, your next steps along the journey as apart from anything else sometimes paths can be overgrown in places so not immediately obvious you are still on it.

While out this week I overheard a part of a conversation which I feel is worth thinking about.

A person spent a good five minutes explaining how  it was they were unable to make a expected and arranged journey because of a combintion of poor mobile signal locally and issues with their internet saying they were unable to finding what the route was as they could not access a map.

This had consequences for them and that other person but a traditional paper map would of solved the problem!

Modern O.S. maps do have downloadable versions that you can load without needing the internet or good mobile coverage while a paper map is always there.
