Going north from South of Bristol
I need to make a journey from Wincanton to Pershore. It seems to me that I
have several options and if anyone has experience of any of them I'd be grateful. 1) Straight through Shepton to Bristol M32/M4/M5 2) Bath then A46 then? I could go M4/M5 or up through the Cotswolds (and that raises some questions) or cut across north of Bristol to the M5. 3) I don't think going south of Bristol to the M5 is worthwhile but ..... This will be a day trip so I'd be going AM and returning PM. I'm flexible about those times so if leaving at 0600 to get through Bristol is a good idea it's doable. Similarly, if it makes sense to avoid Bristol at certain times in the PM I can either go on to see friends in Worcester and come home late or, since I only need an hour or so in Pershore, I can get back through before the worst probably. I did think about trains but I may well be purchasing something and I would need the car to transport it back. Thanks. |

Apologies. |

Shepton - Keynsham - A4174 ring road to M32 then M4/M5 would be my choice if it's early (A4174 car share lane slows it all down at rush hour) |
