Same! Currently in Gurney Slade, some guy got told off by a copper for being outside of his car

Why can't they leave people alone, nice to get out and stretch your legs.

Definitely delaying our start from drizzly Devon this morning, may even leave it til this time tomorrow.

A real pisser for all you poor sods being stuck overnight. Many thanks for all the updates and advice from you all. 

It's only a minor set back in the grand scheme of things; stay safe, warm and watered pop pickers.

Guessing the weds meet may be a tad sparse

East mate. Just turned round. Will try again tomorrow or Friday. Have 2 1/2 year old in the back of the car. Can't spend a full day in that queue.

Now!! Where to stay for the night. **gulp**

Frome....Premier Inn on bypass....take signs for Bath turning right before Frome and you can't miss it....otherwise in town George Hotel or Cornerhouse are both nice. Good luck.

Hey Charm, have you moved at all? Hope you don't mind but your now my gauge for how the traffic is flowing 

[dexydexy]

This is where we are now

Just booked The Manor in Yeovil. 80 quid including breakfast. Only took about half an hour to get here from the traffic jam. Currently having a brew in Tesco.

Premier Inn at Frome currently has 16 rooms available for tonight.....0871 527 8404.....although cheaper to book online if you can.

[cornish hick]

hmmm - do i leave home in west cornwall at 830 or delay. would normally take 2 1/2 hours to get to motorway turn off?

[HattersBoy]

Not set off from Watford as yet is it best just to wait at the moment?

Sterling work from parsonjack. 

[Lucy92]

Think I'll be holding off at home and waiting until it has died down a bit before we set off. Don't want to cause more traffic! 

[ClementsMike]

Id advise anyone to sack it off till tomorrow if they haven't set off. I understand wanting to get here, but sitting in rain in traffic is shit.

May be OK, don't forget most traffic would be coming from.the East. I'm hoping to God same is true for the train transfer buses
