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.

Not sure how I managed to get this here. I certainly didn't mean to.
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)

Oh, I don't know. I was trying to visualise what kind of enormous plant you
might be buying in Pershore :-)

Going North of Bristol - are you absolutely sure that it is necessary or
wise?

Lucky it's not that chilled and pasteurized crap. This is what we calls
a proper job, with bits of dead rat an' all. This is what the old uns'
used to drink with a double gin in it, and if they ever drank it in the
saloon bar, were required to wear bicycle clips.

Just the stuff I like, something to chew on.

Of course, don't want the ferrets running amuck do we?

Actually, that family isn't as bad as the press reports would have you
believe.

However, the reason for the bicycle clips is that after a few pints of
scrump and gin, they tended to sh*t themselves and the clips saved a lot
of clearing up for the bar staff.
