That Bloody M50 Sign

[HiVis]

Sorry, but you’re still wrong. You’re getting the A40 and the A449 mixed up. Your route would be:

M4 -> A449 -> A40 -> M50 -> M5 -> M6 -> A556 -> M56 -> A5103

The A449 becomes the A40 after the Rhaglan junction. So, there are no roundabouts on the A449 other than the one at Celtic Manor where you got on.

The A449 runs from Zooport to Raglan and then from Ross to the M50 (and then onwards to Stafford). The A40 is the bit from Raglan to Ross. After Ross its back to the A449.

Ffing Pencraig for the speed cameras. Herefordshire police money making machine, especially in the Monmouth direction

...and don't I know it. There was even a hand held speed camera just round the bend as you drop down towards Ross one day. 4.30pm on a Sunday as it was getting dark. Also, the bottom of the hill, in the Ross direction, used to be a happy hunting ground for police patrol cars. As is the M5 southbound on a Saturday morning where unmarked police cars ply their trade.Throw in the contraflow for the landslide outside Monmouth and, maybe, 8 miles more via the bridge isn't such a bad idea. Just seems to take ages that way.

It’s quicker going over the bridge

It’s quicker going over the bridge

...in a coach. A few minutes quicker in a car if you know which lanes to get into at the roundabouts. I might try each way for the Bristol match just for the sheer hell of it.
