Going to the delights of Burnham On Sea for the half term.. Saturday to Saturday. It is bad enough that I have to miss the Wigan away game, but there is no chance I will miss the Norwich at home game.

What time would one have to leave on Saturday morning to comfortably get to the Amex on time? Never been down that way on hols and I am assuming the end of half term traffic could be bad?

Any advice will be appreciated!

I had looked at that but not sure if I fancy the M25 or not..Was hoping someone who regularly does the journey could give input...With it being end of half term too!

I'd take the M25, I go from Dorset (110 miles) and it's a pain........whenever it is !

My parents live near Taunton so I do more or less the same trip regularly. Under 3 hours on a clear, Non-stop run, usually allow 4, have occasionally taken 5 but unlikely to be that long coming towards London on a Saturday. I'd do M5/M4/M25 from Burnham on Sea.

Why not drop down onto M/A27, at Fontwell join A29, go to Whiteways Roundabout and follow signs to Storrington (B2139 or something similar), then through to Washington Roundabout, past Steyning, jump back onto A27 at Shoreham

I do this occasionally for a change but mostly it's M5,M4,M25,M23. This is also by far the better return route at night.
Usually leave at 9am to park up at the uni by 1pm
