DO YOU CARRY A ROAD ATLAS?
lee celtic:
I print out directions from the rac or aa sites (they show current road works updated daily) on the net then write bullit notes ie just the roads I need and the town names and stick them between the clocks and the door .
Then I give the map book to the wife and start driving ..... :D
by the time shes worked out the best route we're there and shes been quiet the whole way :lol: :lol: :lol:

Don't need a road atlas to get round that one - Just go to The Hill House instead of Downham Market :grin:
Normaly have a road map apart from when the mice eat them.

I l;ove sat nav for driving into big towns when im on my own as you can focus on the signs (like ONE WAY!)
However I often overrule it and allways carry an atlas, but then I carry hot cans, light sticks, pen knife, poncho, water, extinguisher, first aid kit, nibbles and thats just going up and down the M5 in the freelander.
God help me if I ever go overlanding.

Tend to use those large metal signs on poles at the side of the road for directions if forced out of the shire
Folks tell me those sat nav thingys stick right in your line of vision on the windscreen and keep talking to you when you are chillin to good music
Devil spawn I say...

I only had the tent, sleeping bag, roll up mat, blanket, gas stove, chair, kettle, several mugs, tins of food, cool bag, ammo box full of recovery kit, twenty metres of USB cables and another twenty metres of VGA cable...
