Cracking commute, Grommit

[miniman]

Having moved house a few weeks ago, my commute is now easier cross-country than down the M4 so I have been taking the 5. I get a few strange looks driving along with the roof down at 06:45 but it's certainly more fun than wafting around corners in the BM. Fuel consumption is a bit miserable though!

Likewise - getting a tan on the way home beats the Northern Line by some margin I can tell you! (Escaped from London to W. Country 3 years a go).

Ah, I suspect we are commuting on roads not a million miles from each other. I am going Yatton Keynell - Acton Turville - Tormarton - M32.

Indeed: Colerne - A420 - Chippenham - A350 - M4.

I prefer the cross-country route though

We must have passed each other at some point, I used to do A350-M4-M32 until a few weeks ago.

Colerne, eh? Nice airfield...

Good to see other 5 drivers using them to comute in the same part of the world. I was until recently, doing; Radstock-> swindon. A37, A39, Bath, M4 daily. Now working in Bath so its a nice 1/2 hr A37 jaunt.

Indeed

I would be lying if I said having a track-day venue over the road and racing circuit 10 minutes away didn't have a baring on choice of house/location when we moved
