[Closed] How are the roads? M5/M6/A36/A350?
Got to drive from Yorkshire to Somerset tomorrow and wondered how the M6/M5 is these days... I'm usually quite happy driving in the winter, but having had someone sideswipe my car last night after he lost it on apparently OK tarmac, I thought I'd do a bit of STW research. 95% of my journey will be on main roads, so I'm hoping it'll be OK...
Thanks all. Merry Christmas and all that too!
Ooh, nice website. I'll keep an eye on that, cheers.
North Somerset main roads are fine as are main roads around Bristol.
Hi Chips. Did the southern bit of that today (M5, M4, A46 to Bath) All looking good, 3 lanes open. A36 and A350 fine too all the way to Gillingham. Merry Chrimbo to you too 🙂
Roads round Bath are fine, this site is turning into my new best friend to track our journey in the opposite direction http://www.bbc.co.uk/travelnews/ Happy Xmas 8)
Drove down to Exmoor today, roads all ok. M5 at Taunton fine.
If the M6 looks dodgy I regularly come south from Leeds by M1/M42/M5 which is normally pretty good as you miss the m6/M5 interchange
Wells/Frome/Shepton Mallet area is moving fine
Boxing day ride Chipps ??
Boxing Day - noon at Alfred's Tower for an hour or two of slipping around in the snow, followed by mince pies and whatever snacks we've all brought, yes indeed.
