I got onto Westgate Road, missed my turn off, turned into some housing estate instead, got lost, ended up on a very narrow cul-de-sac where a 3 point turn had to be done, navigated myself back onto Westgate Road, found my correct turn off, then turned down the wrong street, found the right street, drove past the blinking house where my friends live without even noticing, leading to another 3 point turn being made in a different street.
Then, in the actual drive, I went the wrong way several times and accidentally drove into the Bus, Cycle, Taxi & Authorised Vehicles section of road in between the Blackett Street/Newgate Street junction & the mini Tesco on the way to Eldon Square bus station. I sincerely hope I do not get a letter through my door...
I often receive the nickname "Captain (then my surname, which shall remain anonymous)" from my friends, but I think Captain Sense of Direction is more appropriate here...
Bet you're also hoping someone gets you a Sat Nav for Christmas
People seem to get lost in Newcastle all the time, I was once stood outside the O2 Academy and someone was going down the one way street in the wrong direction. People have often gone into those no car lanes and have had no action faced so hopefully you should be alright.
