Bourne End upwards

Broughton Bridge

Stopped at Bourne End last night after my long journey.

Google Maps sent me to Bourne End – Bucks. after I added a ‘stop’.

8 miles away, and it sent me all the way back down to Bourne End – Bucks., rather than Bourne End – Herts.

Adding stops to Google then being taken in the wrong direction

Google is notorious for doing this.

Last night was an example where it made up a new destination after I’d added a stop, (I wanted to go to coop).

That new destination added 1 1/2 hours and 40 miles to my travel time.

Back in Bourne End

Eventually, I arrived back. 10pm.

Just managed to cook up some cous-cous before falling asleep.

There were many other photos, but I was a bit slow getting my camera out of my pocket.

1 mph.

Impressive stuff…..
