Dear Fellow-Motorists,
I'm off on my next jaunt, this time combining a spring break with a visit to my elderly aunt in Falmouth, Cornwall. I will be picking up my companion from work in Luton at around 13:30 on Wednesday and have booked the Travelodge south of Okehampton for Wednesday night's stop-over, before continuing to Penzance the next morning to catch the helicopter to Tresco for the day.
To get to Okehampton, my initial thoughts would be M1, M25, M4, M5, A30. However, a chance remark by a friend, confirmed by my own research, suggests a better alternative: M1, M25, M3, A303, A30. It's a few miles shorter and, with optimum conditions, takes only slightly longer. (According to Google routes.) But conditions won't be optimum when I go, as, with Option A, I'll be at the dreaded M4/M5 interchange at a pretty busy time.
I reckon Plan B's better. What say you?
We return Sunday afternoon - thoughts on the best route for this are welcome too.
Best regards,
Chris
