Help please- relocation to Cardiff
Discussion
It will depend on the time of day he’s travelling. It’s easy from there to UHW and about 6 miles. Come out the estate, turn left. Take left on the steep hill then you just stay on that road until you’re near the hospital. The traffic at normal rush hour will mean it may take up to half an hour or so, assuming he’s going in 6am, 2pm or 10pm he should be fine.
Caerphilly Road in Cardiff can be slow in rush hour. I tend to turn left at the lights by Lidl onto Maes Y Coed Road, then right onto Ton Yr Wen, go to the end, straight across Heathwood Road , onto St Ambrose Road, left at the end, straight across roundabout and your at the hospital. This probably saves at least 5 mins avoiding a few sets of lights.

Brilliant thanks for that! Is there any speed cameras there?
This might be his excuse to get a motorbike then as he’s always wanted one and I’ve been a bit hesitant about it.
He sent the this property and said he liked it and I did send him the map time of how long it will take and he said he’s happy with that so I hope it won’t be too bad for him otherwise I will feel guilty! Although we were struggling to find anything suitable in cardiff

Thanks again brilliant! Do you think Google maps show you this way too? Caerphilly Road in Cardiff can be slow in rush hour.

Oh dear sounds like traffic will be an issue :-(
Only in the morning rush hour.No speed cameras but before Thornhill, the limit has come down to 40 and there are two raised zebra crossings to slow down for.
Any time in the afternoon or evenings, the traffic will be coming towards Caerphilly. At night, it will be 15-20 minutes.
There is another route with less traffic - turning left before the top of Caerphilly mountain and going through the lanes, past the Black Cock Inn and down Rhiwbina Hill and through Rhiwbina, though parts of the lane are narrow.
The downside of that route is one speed camera (30) and the speed limit through Rhiwbina village has recently been reduced to 20.
How often does he get called out?

Perhaps he can get one of those magnetic green flashing lights for his car roof when he’s in a rush?
Haha that would be funny he’s quite car proud with his gt86 I don’t know how he would feel having one of those on it but I think it’s a really good idea and would help him a lot!!!elanfan said:
They’re magnetic, you only put them on for an emergency
How do you geg# kids in a GT 86?
Brilliant I will find one for him!How do you geg# kids in a GT 86?

Haha so funny everyone asks us this! Two car seats in the back fit really well! We are all quite petite so we all got in, but when we need more boot space then we travel in my car which is a lot bigger the family bus we can it !
hi, i'm in Caerphilly as well. I've got a few bits of furniture clogging up the garage if they're any help to you. Double wardrobe, couple of chests of drawers, book case, coffee table. Nothing special, all ikea, but all in good condition. I'd rather see them go to someone than the tip! Let me know if you want anything if you do end up in Caerphilly.
