and found...after some erratic driving and waste of petrol... My son is a junior scout leader and, although I admire him for being so helpful and patient with the little “beavers”, “cubs” etc, this entails for me driving him around to take him to the most impossible locations for their hiking, camping etc.
Yesterday was one of those evenings in which he got home in the afternoon and had to meet in the middle of the Yorkshire Wolds to guide a hiking expedition. Now, although I’ve lived in the area for almost ten years, I don’t know the whole countryside around here yet and I’m very bad with maps as well, especially maps drawn by scouts!
So after many miles and many wrong turning up and down the hills I managed to drop him at the starting point. The problem was going back. I hadn’t really paid attention to the different little roads we took in our frenzy to get to the meeting point on time. My daughter and I were all of a sudden LOST! In the middle of nowhere. No signs, no cars or human beings in sight and no mobile phone reception of course! 
But then we found this. The Lonely Old (and rusty) Post Box. It’s a rather known landmark around here so we knew we were not far from civilization!
Got home just in time to drive in the opposite direction to pick him up at the end of the hiking, but this time we knew the way!
