Generic Lad Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 The cold is making me wonder why I stayed in the midwest to go to university, I should have chosen Hawaii or Florida!I think I've used more gas letting my car warm up the past week than I have actually driving it! Quote

geoffhobson Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 The worst part of the road is at Stonehenge. The queue is regulary to the roundabout at the bottom, and the traffic light have made it worse. Quote
Red Riley Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 You're still better off going up the A303 to the east than going westbound. Too many single carriageway sections with limited overtaking between Stonehenge and Mere, then again around the Somerset/Devon border.Whilst attempting to avoid boiling up in my '52 Riley last year en route to Wincanton I discovered a good diversion to the north through all the military camps - quite quick roads and very direct. A303 is a definite no-no at present but that's something of a shame as parts of it are really scenic but two hour traffic jams in the blazing sun and with no air-conditioning aren't good for the heart rate...

geoffhobson Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Or you could divert at Andover through Middle Wallop to Salisbury and down the A30 to Shaftesbury and on to Wicanton that way. I used to do that if I thought it would be too bad on a Friday afternoon when I left work to drive west.But it is a nice run over that part of Salisbury Plain,Geoff. Quote
Rob Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 The road from Stonehenge across to Heytesbury was always a decent road to take. Quote
scottishmoney Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 No joke here - our furnace gave up the ghost yesterday and we are using our gas fireplace for a bit of heat but temps are falling precipitously and we may leave for a hotel this afternoon if they cannot get the part we need for it. Snow thrower gave up the ghost on Sunday and have to get a new one. This cold stings. Quote

This cold stings.Sorry for you.Can't or haven't you got electrical radiators?I always have a couple in the garage.But then again getting your head down in a nice warm hotel does have its appeal.

Peter Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Yes, it is about 15 miles east of here. I go past it every time I have the misfortune to go along the A303 to Andover or further.Geoff.We often stop at Avebury travel lodge on the way to Devon/Cornwall travelling down Friday evening making an early start Saturday before the glut of traffic.I do like the A303.

Peckris Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Only among Brits could such a conversation take place! Puts me in mind of Bill Bryson in Notes From A Small Island, where he compares a typical pub conversation between Brits planning a 50-mile trip over Bank Holiday, with Americans who wouldn't bat an eyelid driving 100 miles for a pizza. Or 'Mr Hilter' in Monty Python - "Ja, we make a little, what you call it? Hike, ja. Hike, for Bideford." "Oh, you'll be wanting the A39 there.. oh no no no, you've got the wrong map there - this is Stalingrad. You want the Ilfracombe and Barnstaple section." "Oh ha ha ha, Reggie, you haf ze wrong map." "Oh so sorry Mein Fuhrer -" [slap] "- I mean Dickie old person, you leg-before-wicket Englishman." Quote
