Settle a wee 'dispute' for me? (between me & my puter for directions)

Heading sarf, would you go:

A303, A358 & pick up the M5 at Taunton

or

A303, A30 & then pick up the M5 just by Exeter

I'd prefer the former, as I use that route - but Route planner is arguing & says the latter route

your thoughts?

if you are going right down as far as Exeter or further then A303 then A30 past Honiton if its Taunton then you need to turn right after the Ilminster Bypass.

Cheers - we often use the A303 & then A358 to hook up at Taunton onto the M5 to then whizz off onto the North Devon link rd - but I also use this route when shooting down to Devon County show each june, as found it quicker than the A30.
Will bow to your knowledge & give the A30 a try tomorrow then YFMB.

A303, A358 & pick up the M5 at Taunton is the best way CK as the old A30 is not the best road !

I have heard a rumor of the new speed cameras on the M5 between junctions 29 and 31, its the new cameras that time your speed over a mile I think !

Anyway CK give us a shout if your down this way
