Is it M4 then north? Or M5 then east? M4, come off at Bath-Stroud junction, turn left keep going heading for Stroud, enter Nailsworth and virtually first left,up the hill, simples!

94th Minute Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Cool thanks! Although routefinder and satnav is telling me to go up the M5! Im confused now! Might want to check the miles on each of them... sat nav will normally (I'm sure I don't need to tell you) underestimate traveling speed on country roads The M4 - Stroud - etc route is definitely more picturesque, having drove both previously!

Who am I going to listen to?! A computer that has never travelled the roads before and just calculating using maths.... or a fellow fan who has been there, done that and bought the tshirt! No brainer! Thanks for the advice - I think I will do the M4 to Stroud route then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Cool thanks! Although routefinder and satnav is telling me to go up the M5! Im confused now! Admittedly from Downend, but I've done it in 30 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More picturesque and more flooded last year (or was it the year before) which made the satnav pretty useless as it didn't know about the gurt big puddles that existed down a single track road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
