What 3 words

Hi all,

Mr AG and I went walking last weekend and unfortunately became involved in an incident involving casualties(not us). We were out in the countryside and the air ambulance had to be deployed. They couldn't find us from a map reference, but they do use the app What3words. I would encourage anyone who runs off road to download it if you haven't already. Chances are you will never need it, but it was a good job someone had it on their phone as it meant help arrived sooner than if we'd tried to describe where we were. None of us like to think we'll have an accident, but you never know, so please consider it.

Happy running and stay safe!

I’ve heard of this AG but had never heard of anyone who’d used it. I’m so glad it worked a but hope your next walk is less ‘exciting’!

We have this on our phones - it’s saved many lives I believe.
