Alltrails is a good app/site. You can search for circular routes and it has navigation.
My local council also publishes trail routes, might be worth a look if yours has anything similar.

Does your phone not tell you where you left your car? It might not give exact directions off road, but it should be able to at least give you a clue as to whether you are heading vaguely in the right direction.

That’s a really productive day 😊 Glad the doglet enjoyed the walk and I totally relate to the cat fud mountain … 😉😂

@redofromstart i empathise.  I need sat nav to get out of a car park (not joking!) People with a good bump of direction don't know how lucky they are.  DD used to navigate for me from the age of two and a half. Love Humdinger xx

A really productive day! Sorry about the tree, though. I know they grow to fill any gaps but it's still not nice very sad to have it damaged.

Perhaps you should treat yourself to a very, very long ball of string to attach to the car and trail behind you when walking... better still, find a friend or two with dogs who want to go exploring (and have a great sense of direction), but I'm not sure how to go about doing that.

I too have no bump of direction & if I travel as a passenger I can never find it again.  Although I'm not too bad once I've driver the route a few times.  My father did give me an idea many years ago, he was really referring to driving through London.  He said to work out where you need to keep the sun, which of course doesn't work at night!

Also the prevailing wind generally blows west to east in the UK, but buildings get in the way and anyway it's a very general principle. Apparently moss grows on the north side of trees, which is helpful so long as you aren't in a city and know which direction you walked after leaving the car...

And then there's the Sat nav in your phone - so long as you can get a signal.

I used to use a great app when I parked my car in towns I did not know ....  think it was called 'Find my car'

I have absolutely no sense of direction.

Just made your Chorizo and squash soup Re-do, it is delicious, but sadly I accidentally (not really) made it too spicy for the rest of the family, so I will have to eat  it all, what a shame.
