Title: How Long To Chester On A Friday Afternoon?
Post by: The Grim Reaper on Monday, August 28, 2006, 07:56:38
Owing to work commitments I can't leave Honda until 1.30pm on Friday. The AA Routeplanner thingy reckons Chester is 155 miles from Swindon and about a 3 hour drive. On that basis it should be a piece of piss but I'm a bit worried about all the Friday traffic around M5/M6. Thoughts anyone?

Leave at 1:30pm and get straight on your way.

The key to this one folks is to get past the M5/M6 linkage before 4pm:
- Before 4pm it'll take about 20 minutes at 10mph to get through.
- Between 4pm and 6:30pm you're looking at an hour for to do about 2 miles.

Just leave yourself enough time.

i would recomend coming off m5 at j1 cutting through wednesbury and pick up the m6 at the walsall junction.
only if there are delays of course.used this route many times, its easy.

That bit of M6 is an absolute bastard. Were leaving about 1. 1.30 should be enough time.

dead easy. sounds like you drive like me.
i do my house to the CC in just over an hour.
From mine to Chester is about an hour + 15.

do as Bedford says though as the M5/M6 junction is a pig.
especially on a friday night/evening
