I’VE always been quietly proud of my sense of direction. I grew up with my dad encouraging me to navigate for him in the car and in the hills, before the days of satnav and phone GPS, and by and large we got to where we needed to be.
Sometimes I think it’s a shame that satnavs have taken that uncertainty and adventure out of driving, but that thought evaporates any time I have to drive into Glasgow. And I always head in the right direction when I come out of a high street shop, which not everyone seems to be able to do!
All of which made getting lost in the car park at the Callendar Estate cycling trails all the more embarrassing…
In my defense, there was a bit of work going on and a few odd fences up, but I cycled back and forth between the jump track, the café and entrance a few times before I finally spotted another moving biker and headed quickly in his direction.
