Thank heavens for sat nav definately worth getting one luv :thumbsup: I could kick myself for not ringing you...my thinking was I won't bother you while you are driving,not even imagining you were lost norm would have given you help over phone. What a nightmare. Thank goodness you are home and safe :huggles: :huggles: and you had your princess with you :wub:

[Jessr123]

Poor thing - just think of it as an adventure (although one you may not want to repeat). At least you found some helpful people to show the way - little angels on your journey.

[FionaS]

Glad u had a good time. I am so sorry that u got lost i know what its like being on yr own and lost in the dark. sat nav sounds like a good idea.

 

[quintessence]

Poor you Nicky, at least you are home safe and sound now. I once got lost in Coventry city centre at midnight on my way up to Crufts (hotel was in Coventry) but i found the station and knew there would be taxi drivers there who would help, but even that little escapade was a bit scarey so you must have been extremely scared.

Still, you'll always remember the day you met Stormy (w00t) .

Jenny

 

[nicky12]

:lol: your right ther jenny , the stormster was a right gentleman had big hug of him and colt to (w00t)

 

[jinx and rubys mum]

What a nightmare.

Youll need to get selling more collars and save up for a sat nav ASAP

I wouldnt leave home without it now

At least you got there in the end :thumbsup:

 

[hely]

oh nicky, im glad you got home safe and sound in the end..............i have a sat nav, my o/h got it for me when i went to crufts last year, i cant even find my way out of the town i live in, let alone birmingham :- " ...............i wouldnt be without it, best thing we ever bought :thumbsup:

 

[beaubeau]

Awww, Nicky...bless your little heart ..what a nightmare for you !! Precisely why I didn't make the trip. I knew it would happen to me too... really feel for you :huggles:

 

Sat Nav definitely on our Christmas lists hey ? !!

[littlenell]

:blink: I feel for you Nicky I have no sense of direction and get lost every time I leave the house unless Im going to work or the supermarket :- " :lol: My OH just got me a sat nav! :thumbsup:

 

[morganna]

Know exactly how you felt I went to east of england championships on my own and instead of going back north to the midlands i ended up going south and went home via cambridge - miles out of my way!!!if it wasnt for a truck driver at a truck stop i'd still be going round - and that was three years ago!!what made it worse was the fact that my OH was in hospital at the time and I had noone to ring to help,soon as the Oh was well he bought me sat nav,what a relief,its really frightening isnt it once its dark , so glad you are home safe.If you try again next year dont hesitate to ask for help and OH and I will take you straight to where you need to be - he's a stobbart driver so he'll know right off and by then you'll probably have a better idea what we and the dogs look like.

Glad you're back now have a good rest!!!

 

[rls22]

Nicky that sounds horrendous! Thank god for the nice lady in the service station.

Get yourself on ebay and get a sat nav sorted asap!

 

[Bluebell]

Sorry to hear about your frightening experience, I can only just imagine how u felt I would hav been scared shitless and panicing like mad :sweating: a sat nav is a very good idea, we got one and it does lead u in the right direction, glad u got home safe )

8 1/2 hours I be pulling the hair out of my head :rant:

Deirdre

 

[~Sally~]

You're not the only one with an hopeless sense of direction. Last October we decided to go up to Brockwood Hall again for a break as they happily allow dogs. We've been before but I have never driven that far into the lakes so OH offered me the use of his sat nav. All set up in the car for me ready. Got to Lancaster the thing went on the blink, apparently was not charging. Got to some tiny little village and it wanted to send me down a one way street. Although I'm not blond I think this will have to be one of those moments. I think I will stick to written directions next time. The return journey was uneventful thankfully. :cheers:
