Sat Nav Woes

I heard an item on the local radio. I thought it was very amusing as I was under the impression that a lorry driver had become stuck in a small Devon lane and not been rescued for 3 days. He had spent 3 nights in the lorry before he was 'rescued'. He had followed directions from his Sat Nav until he came to a point where he couldn't go forward or backwards. STUCK.

But reading is a far better way to pick up the full story: far better than idly listening and not concentrating properly. His lorry had become wedged but the driver didn't have to spend all that time in his cab. He wasn't so wedged in that he was unable to escape from his cab, as I'd thought. He was fed by a local family but he chose to spend the 3 nights in his cab. I can see that on listening to the tale I only picked up some of the facts.

I was beginning to think that there are still wild, remote places in Devon where a lorry driver could be trapped and maybe perish in his cab, after becoming wedged down a wee country lane, with no one around for miles to raise the alarm. In a spot where a mobile phone signal couldn't be picked up. Is there any such place? If so please let me know. I might chose to go and live there.
