The Chronicles of Nana: Lost in Funtley

Funtley Walk

The intrepid walkers(that is myself & Jenny) copied directions for a local walk off the web.

Go over the bridge and turn right into a side road

Not far down this road you will see a footpath turning

to the right. Take this path and follow it across the river,
Once you have crossed the river you will find yourself
in the grounds of a cottage. Don't panic! Follow the
footpath round to the left and through a gate. Continue
along this track, through another gate and onto Funtley Road.

Hah, easier said than done. After forty five minutes we realized Right should have read Left. We asked for directions from someone we came across leading a horse. "Which way is the path", he replies "that way" pointing to where we had just come from, "no" we reply, "we just came from there", "then that way" he announces with some frustration, think he's been thru this before. He's know pointing in the opposite direction toward what appears to be a stable yard. On we go trying to follow the map but get lost again. We have a compass, get out the compass I says, like I know what I'm doing. Did you know no matter how many times you turn with a compass in your hand North is still in the same direction (boy do I feel like an idiot). Oh yes, the map has no North pointer marked on it either. Need I say more. We still don't know where we are. How hilarious is that. We couldn't stop laughing at ourselves. We finally made it back to the car after what should have been a 1 1/2 hour walk 3 hours later. Great fun. We've decided we fill the description 2 silly old biddy's. No comments on that please. And no we didn't have a drink before starting the walk.
