Trowbridge driver lost for three days

A Wiltshire grandfather spent three days trying to find his way home from Gatwick Airport after becoming disorientated in snowy conditions.
Moroccan-born Mohammed Bellazrak's family reported him missing after he failed to return to Trowbridge after dropping his wife off for a flight.
Police in Oxfordshire eventually flagged down the 72-year-old after his car triggered a camera in Oxford.
They found he had spent from 23 - 25 December driving, trying to get back.

Maybe his wife told him to "get lost!" after dropping her off.

I've taken a few "scenic routes" in the past but never more than an hour or so.

What's the longest you've been lost?

And on this 2 day excursion he didn't need petrol?? And it didn't occur to him to ask for directions??

I don't understand your getting lost comment.

Nine hours lost on foot in Edinburgh.

One of the best days of my life. I love getting lost.

So much to explore!

Men don't ask for directions, it's our unwritten rule.

I once got lost in the London Science Museum as a child. That was a scary time
