....Bristols roads again.

Just been to the motorshow. Decided to drive there. BIG mistake, as any number of people will undoubtedly now tell me.

In hindsight I probably wasn't very well prepared for getting through London, but it is the most awkward, confusing, unforgiving place to drive. Bristol really is a breeze by comparison! I shall NEVER do that again unless I really have to!

Lesson very painfully learned!

For all the complaining about it that goes on about it, the London Public Transport network is pretty good (even though it made me miss my train last week). I always investigate the train & tube/bus options first and take a car in centrally as a last resort.


This is what I intend to do the next time I venture over that way! Would have been much easier.

One wrong turn was all it took. If it had been a weekday that wrong turn would have had me contributing to Red Ken's additional car tax. As it was, I just ended up on the road I wanted to be, eventually, but going the wrong way....

And since this road in question was the A40 at Kings Cross, it took me a bloody long time to get off it, get turned round and back on it the right way!
