Parking/Layby near M5 north of Bristol?

[MartinM]

Hi all
I'm off with a workmate to do a job up country later this week. As we want to leave early and I'm coming up the M5 from Somerset and he from Wiltshire along the M4, it makes sense for him to pick me up on his way up the M5.
Can anyone from that neck of the woods point me in the direction of a suitable (free & safe) place to leave the daily driver just off the M5?

Thanks
Martin

I used to live near there. It gets very full very early now.

I would be tempted bo go a bit further up the road and park in one of the residential streets in Charfield

Leave it at Cribbs Causeway junction 17 M5.

That's asking to be clamped, though - especially at this time of year.

Same junc as Cribbs except go away from cribbs on the same roundabout. About 1/4 mile down the road you will hit Easter Compton.

Not much happens there, no parking restrictions and easily accessible.
