Guest DanC Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 There is two options the route you have which I personally feel is best or come off at the next junction(Gordano) and go along the A369. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redminster Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 There is two options the route you have which I personally feel is best or come off at the next junction(Gordano) and go along the A369.A third option, although the original poster wanted to avoid the city centre, would be to do exactly the opposite as it's the most direct. M4, M32, across the city past Temple Meads and follow the river along Coronation Road. Can't see the traffic being particularly bad if you are coming through the city centre before 1pm.

daisybcfc Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 There is two options the route you have which I personally feel is best or come off at the next junction(Gordano) and go along the A369.thats the way i go, much easier i find, also loads of parking if you get their reasonably early. safe parking in the bedminster cricket club for a small fee or on the other side of the road facing it for free.

22A Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I park either in Coronation Road, or one of the roads off it such as Dean Lane etc. Never had any problems with vandalism or parking tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
