On the way back from Swindon this afternoon i put Brunel on.

I had a strong, clear signal right upto the Cotswold Wildlife Park just before Burford.

Alot better than i first thought.

cotswold wildlife park is ace.

i was listening to cricket otherwise i'd have tried it but i discovered that i can get brunelfm clearly on my dab radio upstairs, but the shitty radio in the kitchen struggles to get a good signal on it. not bad for 20 miles east of swindon, where would you be if you travelled 20 miles west?

I'm quite chuffed about this because i used to lose Radio Swindon just after Lechlade, so Brunel is better  Cheesy

 I reckon Oldbury on the Hill......an interesting area for a walk, as there is a magic spot, where you can view The Downs to the SE, and the Severn Valley and the Forest of Dean and Black Mountains beyond to the west.

 I see when you say just down, you're not really stating due south, but inferring SW......Oldbury is well off the 433, turning right in Didmarton.

 I'm not sure I want to know what you get up to in the shower Ralphy.

Radios tend to work better outside in the car than inside in a house ... Mines still crackly and shit with a good modern radio in Highworth
