Today is read a road map day – a day to celebrate times when Satnavs weren’t about and we would use maps to find our way around! Every journey was an adventure, whether or not you made it to your chosen destination…
Why not celebrate this day by going on a road trip adventure with some friends or family with only a road map in hand. Leave the satnav (and all other technology) behind and see if you can make it from A to B. If you are prone to using online devices or instructions, you might just find this trip a little tricky…
And for those of you who can’t go on a road trip, why not take the time to look at a road map and see if you understand it – it might come in handy in the future!
