Will have to follow somebody to the start point as I'm destined to get lost if I don't!

I can't multitask..as a matter of fact noone can. Some are good at switching fast but not me. Therefore I cannot ride, listen, understand, look and act at the same time. So trying to follow "Google map" while riding is pointless in my case. I have seen Tiverton on the map and all I can do is to try learn prior the ride a simple points I will need to look out to get there.... :-ss

That's all you need to do. Consult Google (or paper map). Plot route. Make note of key junctures with pen and paper. Memorise. Stuff paper in pocket of leathers. Shove on lid and depart. If necessary pull over and consult piece of paper. Arrive on time and unflustered.
People have traversed the planet by this method. It will get you to Tiverton. :-B
