Could anyone with local knowledge please let me know the best way back to sunny North Wales after we have played? I expect that by the time we finish (5ish?) that the M25 will be a car park so have been looking at alternative routes. It looks like that the M3 to Bagshot then A322/A329(M) to the M4 to Maidenhead and then A404 to the M40 is an option but am I better off waiting on the M25?

To get back oop north, I'm hoping my passengers don't object in hanging around until 6:30ish but yeah some local knowledge would be useful as to when the car park at least becomes a rolling road block!

Yep mate, I checked with Richart and I'd like to stay for the auction, and it all gives time for the traffic to dissipate.
Better to be in with the aftermath of the day, rather than stuck in a car in traffic. :thup:

quick check on the weather forecast and it looks like we could be in for a nice day... considerably less wet than West Hill..

Think auction is scheduled to finish at 5:30ish (?) so just need to keep Stuey away from the bar for an hour...

Just want to check there is still space available on this before I sign myself up?
Yes there is, the draw hasn't been made yet.

Thats a decent route, it will still be busy, but it should flow (mostly)
You are wise to avoid the M25 at that time especially between J12 to 16 (M40)

Probably gets a bit sticky around Maidenhead/Marlow/M40 too.
The main bridge over the Thames in Marlow is closed I think - all traffic going into it will be going further up the 404 to the next junction.

What time do you expect tee off to be?

If the A404 is likely to be busy as Imurg suggests, then an alternative may be to go west on the M4 to Newbury then take the A34 north to the M40.

Viable but the 34 gets very busy between Abingdon and Oxford as well as the last couple of miles up to the M40...
To be honest, nowhere is good at that time of day down here....
I just always stick with the M25, it always looks worse than it looks IMO, so I'll be returning as I came, M3/M25/M40, by the time you flaff about you probably don't gain anything!

I may have to dash off early. Is there any price reduction for not having dinner?
