First tow in bad weather

bassett, do you not find tetbury a bit tight and or the road to Malmesbury the same?  The route you have suggested in the quicket/shortest route home for us.

Catherine, haven't got the map in front of me, but from memory it's A417 Stroud to Cirencester - you'll actually pass the club site at Cirencester, then right at the roundabout and follow signs for Chippenham. You'll miss Birdlip altogether. 

What's the route like from the M5 to Stonehouse and Stroud?  It's an age since I've been that way.  I'm guessing as it's an A Road it should be pretty decent.

Catherine, the road from the M5 through to Stroud is fine, we towed that way last year. We then went up onto Minchinghampton Common, so didn't tow round Stroud, itself it shouldn't be a problem. Just follow the Cirencester signs.

We are also faced with the same dilemma at Eastling Down Farm CS Whitfield near Dover. Due to go home today but will sit out the storm and leave when it is safe. Inconvenient but all part of the fun of the outdoor life! Safe driving everyone.

Well I'm delighted to say we left at about 10.15 am and im now in a hot bath at home.  The journey home was absolutely fine, although perhaps some of you will be kind enough to give me your opinion on the other thread I've posted under tow cars.  We came down the M5 and across to Chippenham on the M4, there was a little bit of light wind around Bristol but that was it. Thank you to everyone who commented on this thread I do appreciate it. The caravan club is a great family.

So glad you're home safe Catherine.  Enjoy your hot soak. 

Glad you're home safe and sound and had an enjoyable weekend by the sound of things. The weather down here in Cornwall has not been as bad as forecast during the day, think we had the worst of it overnight. Motorway option was perhaps the best option in that case.

Of course, now the question is ..... where next?

Write your comments here... Throughout my life I've always found people questioning me.

Well the next trip will be a trial weekend in the new caravan, so that will be very local at Plough Lane, which is a non club adults only site in Chippenham.  So a bit of a contrast to Passage Farm.   However I've just bumped our booking at Wells Farm touring Park for May Day BH for wait for it.......   Greenacres Farm CL site :)

Just need to find a replacement date for Wells.

Plough Lane is just a stone's throw from us Catherine. Might I recommend the Jolly Huntsman at Kington St Michael, just across the A350 if you're looking for somewhere good for an evening out? 

That's not the one at the traffic lights is it Moulesy?
