that reminds me,
I was in F on S, near the estate, a car pulled up, and showed me the map from the inside of the yellow pages, they wanted to get over the other side to
Cinderford and asked me which way to go,
I said, there's a river in the way which isn't marked on that map, you'll need to go up
to Glaaaaaaaaaaaster and round
the surprise on their faces
