A duo of American tourists pulled off an impressive feat of navigation when they skillfully wedged a Nissan Juke onto a narrow footpath in the quaint Welsh town of Tenby, Pembrokeshire, last week. Astonishingly, they generously credited their satellite navigation system for this remarkable achievement.
Local media reports that the women were trying to get to St Catherine’s Island at a nearby beach when they ventured off the road and started to drive along a path designed only for pedestrians. They kept driving until they couldn’t go any further, wedging the Juke between two walls before abandoning it and catching a train to their hotel.
“No one’s ever got a vehicle down there before,” local mechanic Stephen Lowe said, one of the men called in to remove the SUV. “[The walls were] touching on both sides of the car. They got it wedged and they just put more power on. There’s normally a bollard on the footpath but that was out at the time, and they went onto the footpath.”

Lowe and his colleagues devised a plan to tow the car backward using a winch located at the very top of the path. The process of pulling the Nissan free took more four and a half hours and at one stage, there was even talk about cutting up the car and scrapping it, Lowe told the BBC.
This is not the first time this year that we’ve seen a tourist drive down a narrow walking trail while intently following their satellite navigation. In March, the 77-year-old driver of an Alpina B3 Touring was guided down a hiking trail by his GPS while visiting Lake Wolfgang near Salzburg, Austria. He ended up wedging the Alpina between a rock wall and a steel and concrete fence. The car’s unplanned off-road adventure left it with extensive scratches down both sides.
