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?

Where you headed for C ?

YMFB · 26-Dec-2006, 19:34

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.

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

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
