Hello all.
Im contemplating starting to do longer drives again (long story cut short)
Dh died 4 yrs ago, we always had a car, we both drove. Ive driven for 40 yrs (not long drives other than holidays)
But nothing would have phased me where ever we would go.
Dh was good driver used to drive buses/lorries etc for many yrs and he always seem to know where we were going, even dictate a time we would be there !
Anyway 4 yrs on....had to give up car when dh died as was a mobility car.so been without one for about 3 n half yrs.(did have use of my dd car and my dads but never really used it)
So here I am with my lovely little second hand car, had it about 7 months now and going to start venturing further afield now.
But!! I seem to have lost the confidence to drive further afield .Im quite shocked at this but I think it has to do with grief.
So.......... Im thinking of getting a sat nav (my friend said its like having a personal navigator) must admit me and dh used to sit and plan journeys with the map book (long before sat navs) sigh.....
Do you? use a sat nav map book? or just go off instinct.
I'm feeling pretty confident at going to Whitby in the coming weeks (a 3 hour drive) then to Llandudno around 2 hours later in the year then at some time across country to Hull about 2 hours but think thats all motorway which I dont mind.
Is it worth buying a sat nav? Ive reviews them and theres a reasonable priced one in argo lots of relaly good reviews.
Have recently given up my motorcycle riding so ist not like I havnet been driving for yrs n yrs.
What do you think would go well with coasters like this?
