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

[CK]

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:confused:

your thoughts?

[mogwai]

Where you headed for C ?

[YMFB]

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.

[CK]

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.

Moggers - am doing a invasion of Torquay:D

Pick up the M5 at Taunton, always better than the A30 :)

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

One or the other :D

you can shut up Mr 'sat nav man':p :D
Is your mrs going to read the map for you if I confiscate the sat nav? :saint;

OK, having checked, its about 8 miles longer to pick up the M5 at Taun'on, but prefer that way.

Age, will try & give you a call mate - but we aint on the bikes this time:(

[moto748]

I always go A303/A30, but then, I'm not a big motorway fan. The A30 has been improved quite a bit lately, although there's still a few 2-lane possible bottlenecks, but the traffic usually moves along OK.

[GsxrAge]

Ok Ck if you have time give us a bell !


Camera update the new cameras are up between 29 and 31 in both directions, 2 sets each way are on the over head gantries but beware there is a 3rd set each way on over head poles after main cameras. They were not working when I went through but they will be anytime soon.

I actually prefer the M25, M26, M20, M2, M25, M1, M6, M42 and M5 route as it provides a nice balance and you get to see a lot of the country as well.
