I've not driven to Bristol via A27/M27 and Sailsbury, but driven to Devon that way and it's not much better, Salisbury is always busy during the day.
Don't know the exact route, but someone I know said they don't go round the M25 to the M4 junction but go off before and go towards Bracknell...
Many thanks, I'm glad I asked.
I did remember something about one of the footbridges being closed from the thread last season, and I wasn't sure if the road bridge could be used by pedestrians.
Is the walk pretty straight forward to Ashton Gate from where you work? Reason I ask is we are staying very near to your work ( opposite SS GB )
I know where The Cottage pub is and that side of the harbour but I have never walked to the ground from there, last time I caught a bus from the city...
