Never get lost in the woods. Just point towards the sky and anyone
within miles will find you.

Hmm. Woods are just about the only places that I regularly get lost in!
Hate the damn things.

Well you sound like a prime customer for a green lazer (sic) thingy.
If you had one of those then you'd always be able to find the sky
....... and that *must* be useful.

And you wouldn't be lost - well, =you= would be lost, but anyone within
2 miles would be able to find you. I wonder if the vendor provides
someone to follow you around 'miles away', to keep the 'trades
descriptions act ' people happy? And who gets the leaves out of the
way??

For a sport that gets no coverage , probably because its impossible to
watch.(the move into towns and cities may change this)

The signs are up because of the problems organising car parking.
Events are booked around a year in advance, during this time car
parking requirements and permissions change. So issued grid refs in
the fixturelists are often wrong, as I used to find out when I walked
to events, only to find I had a few miles extra following the signs
for cars.

There is often a traffic management scheme in place as well, and the
best reason of all is to try and draw passers by in to have a go. This
is not usually well done, and the sport is lousy at selling itself..
As a result most folk pound pavements or simply run around in circles.

It's quite hard reading a map while driving a car :-)

My better half finds it hard reading a map when in the passenger seat.

June is an excellent navigator, to the point where I have no idea where I
have driven. I once gave here a medal for navigating through Antwerp,
where they did not believe in road signs.
