G4 TechTV has picked up the story as well (US based I think)

I had just got off work and spotted a tv tuned to this channel and "ticker" on the bottom
Something about "a UK man took a road reccomended by a GPS system and endured a 14 hour rescue effort after getting stuck" I knew exactly which story they were referring to.

Put a big grin on my face when I read your thread, and again now that the media is picking it up as well.
