Route Planning Old School
Discussion
Am off tomorrow to Norfolk with a Caravan (sorry folks)!
The route normally involves the A17. Not a nice road, and even less so with a caravan where my ability to overtake 40mph lorries is curtailed by the t
ts that won't overtake and leave no room for me to slot in. I'm also aware of road works at Kings Lynn that were seeing 7 mile jams last saturday. Not keen on that.
So I've got the map out. Can't remember the last time I did that and rather enjoyed it.
Anyone else go old school?
For the record we are travelling to Peterborough,then cross country to Wisbech, skirting south of Kings Lynn to rejoin our normal route at Fakenham.

I am off to hunstanton in a couple of weeks, thanks for the heads up on the hold ups at kings lynn - any idea if the roadworks are going to be around for a while?The route normally involves the A17.

I'm going to add a bit while I am frantically re-planning.
I travel country wide for work. I use Sat Nav all the time, particularly for the traffic.
On this journey it's not going to look at the traffic until my diversion routes are very restricted, particularly with the caravan. Hence I'm making my own route.
Predictably I now need to pick up pills for the dog from the vet, which is 30 miles off the route I had planned because the local office does not open on a Saturday. My route plan is now up the creek.
