Where are we?

SUNDAY AM

Still getting used to our locale. I had to pick Kier up from his mums. Having no knowledge of the immediate area, I decided to use the Sat Nav on my phone! The thing about SatNav is (or at least mine) is that it has no concept of realistic driving conditions, so it expects you to be travelling at constant speeds in order to keep up with it.

Anyway, we fell out in Honley Centre when he insisted I needed to turn left into a Doctors car park and then continue for 1.6km. That would have took me through the poor Docs surgery and around 25 small terraced houses. I told him (SatNav) where to go and decided to use my inner navigational voices to guide me to Almondbury.

I arrived in Almondbury about an hour later!

Having an 8 year old boy direct you on roads you don't know made me feel foolish. Ignoring him and getting lost made me feel considerably more so. I must have driven for about 5 miles without recognising anywhere. I eventually picked up a sign for Honley, and 20 mins later rolled into the caravan park
