Hi all Not exactly the exact thing but along the same lines. There was an old car rally at the local blind educational resource centre in new zealand. It was a rotery thing anyway. So you got in your old car and you drove the car. Thats fine. You however don't know where you are going. There is a blind person sitting next to you with braille instructions. It only happened once but it was quite cool So for a change it was the sighted person that had to listen to the blind man. Not that I had it easy. I had to make sure I did not read to fast or skip things. I only had this happen once but it was a good thing. Sadly this happened when I had no digital recorder. If something like this happens again I'll dropbox it and then post it somewhere.
