A303 Resurfacing great timing

[Ted Dansons Wig]

Was in reply to the OP.

But i'm fairly sure - without looking at a map - if you follow that to almost the site you can drive almost along the north of the site and round to the west car parks.

I did once by accident due to taking directions from an over-excited 8 year old daughter who was map reading (pre-sat nav days)

Leaving from Essex on tuesday evening, I look forward to getting stuck on the QEII and here.

I can't believe anyone could read this and not appreciate that it's a comment made in jest.

Living close by and my wife drives the 303 everyday I will keep you all posted about what is going on.

Mate after someone decided to have a road accident in 2009 which meant all traffic had to be redirected through Glastonbury village on the Wednesday of Glastonbury NOTHING can phase me. Fuck me, now that WAS a traffic jam.

There were resurfacing works last year on the 303. I would say 10 miles m3 side of popham services. Was about a 5 min hold up at about 2 Wednesday morning I would imagine it would be about the same

Did I imagine it or did they do some daft shit with closing down roads around the site last year? Is there some passive aggressive Glastonbury hate among the local authorities?

Don't forget in future..

Came down on the Tuesday night last year. Great idea! Roads will be dead! Knock an hour off the journey!

M5 was closed in 2 places. Diversions all over the shop, took bloody ages, any advance notice is worthwhile.

Ohhh, the M5 closure was awful. I spend my life talking about a music festival on the internet, reading comics, watching cartoons and eating pizzas, obviously I have no practical real-world skills. We could just have easily ended up in Inverness after leaving the long, straight motorway. After a long time heading vaguely south, we stopped to get petrol, saw a man who was obviously heading to Worthy Farm, followed him until Bristol, where the Satnav finally stopped haranguing us to get back onto the closed motorway and gave us a sensible route.

[geoffboycott]

Saw the post earlier in the day, been thinking about it. I live just off the A303, near Wincanton, but the closure point much further east. I'd be tempted with M4 but tbh, getting back down either via A34, or heading over Chippenham or even Bath or even Bristol = a right pain in the aris. Going south is not much better, Salisbury can be troublesome.

Basically highlights the road problem we've had for years in the South West and also going South/North from the coast to Bristol for example.

Anyway, that's my rant over and doesn't solve the problem

You could do Micheldever, but it's back roads, also A30 if desperate - but reasonable if travelling through the early hours.

[manateemike]

I have to mention its only takes an extra 10 mins using the official detour down the M3 and back up A34.
