Yes i did ....  got there early before the scotes got up .I was warned the day before i went that they have people shooting air rifles at cars / people / windows from about the 10th floor of a neighbouring tower block.
I was away by about 11.30 so i think there were still asleep ...but i did hide my car out of view of the block ...oh the advantage of an off road vehicle ..get to places normal cars cant get 
Thanks for the concern though Help get this page up the rankings please

Routing on the new disk is as poor as ever. If you have to make a forced detour the re-route goes insane and sends you all round the houses instead of just suggesting you take the next turn to get back on the old route. Saturday I was 8 miles from my destination when a road closure meant I had to miss a turn. I knew the next left would bring me back on track but it calculated a 26 mile reroute instead!!!
Not the first time, and I've got major and minor roads on equal priority in the menu. If anything, it's worse than the old one (which enjoyed sending me off at sliproads only to rejoin the motorway after the roundabout) Carbon footprint? I neither know nor give a damn

Doesn't that drive you mad 
On a trip into N Wales, mine took me off the A55 through Abergele and back onto the A55. On the plus side... I did spot a Tonga Green D3 with disco3.co.uk sticker on tailgate, never found out who it was though!
Is there anything that can be done to avoid this other than take a map?  Disco 3 TDV6 HSE

I have never used the LR sat nav on it's own, I also use Tom Tom on my phone for going any distances but I find that 'Normal' on LR is usually the closest route to Tom Tom.
IMO not worth even £50 for the LR one. Also a member of avforums.com
