Use this thread to give directions to places
Oh youâre not far off at all mate. Just another one, two hundred yards down this road, mate, on the left hand side with a big glass front. Literally canât miss it mate, yeah, alright, no worries, take it easy haha, yeah mate!

My parents house is in the country and quite hard to find as itâs buried in amongst some trees. I once drunkenly drew a very elaborate map on a number of sections of kitchen roll at a party for my friend to use. It worked! I was very proud of my map making skills.
However if you were to ask me on the street how to get somewhere I tend to get a bit flustered and either say I donât know or end up walking you to said place.
Really good start, thanks
Youâre gonna want to make a right under the railway arches there then head left and it will be on your right hand side as you walk up. Absolute doddle mate.

Iâm really bad at giving / taking directions. Itâs weird - I literally know how to walk, say, from my parentâs house to the newsagents. But if you asked me to tell you the directions, I wouldnât be able to!
Sometimes wish I could survey people who Iâve given directions to, to see how often they were useful and actually helped them find the place they were going
Reckon Iâd probably be down at around 30% success rate
Same!
Used to tell people I didnât live in the area to avoid giving them the wrong directions
Also listening to people give me directions, if itâs anymore complex then ânext left!â Itâs not going in my brain!
Head to the roundabout by Tor Quarry, take the exit signposted to Ledstone that looks like it leads to nowhere and itâs about 500 yards down there on the left.
@The_Respected_User Can you please confirm whether this is a thread to give directions or talk about how good you are at giving/following them. Seems to be some confusion.
This reminds me of being nervous at a uni fresherâs week event; someone asked whereabouts I was living and I just blurted out the postcode
Me every single time: âitâs just down there on the leftâ, while gesturing wildly to the right.
To each their own and to all a great life
What a lovely sentiment. Thank you.
And you canât take directions either because you donât know how to look where someoneâs pointing.
