If anyone isn't sure where it is, I can run a convoy from Junction 18 of the M4, up to junction 17 and then across to Rode - maybe easier than sat nav?

i just posted on the other thread that someones coming to look at my car at 12:30 sunday, so i cant stay for food - so have mine mate


Thanks, also not sure of exactly where it is, i've looked at the map but it seems a bit of back road action to get there, so is anyone going from the lyneham, swindon or chippenham area that i can go up in convoy with?[/quote]

Mr E and I are going from Swindon, J16 if you want to meet at the Lydiard car park first?

It's very easy to find, but here's some simple directions...

(Assuming you're coming down the A361 from Trowbridge direction)
Just before you enter Road (The village), the main road goes round to the left with junction to the right (as you enter a 40 limit) turn right here.
Go straight for a mile, looks like you're leaving the village, over narrow bridge, pub on left

Erm to be there for 11.30, I'm guessing an hour (tops) so leave J16 about 10.15/10.30?

We'll be in a Red Toyota Celica GT4.

It's the pub/Beefeater next to the Hilton Hotel - only place I could think of that may be convenient? BTW I will be navigating from maps as neither of us have been there......

Feel free to email me through PH if you wish.

I know the way to trowbridge and the a361, so thats not a problem.....just gonna be a matter of trawling through the village to find the place. If you're gonna travel through chippenham, it might be quicker to go to wotton bassett and lyneham first. So if you're going that way, could i meet you at lyneham? You won't be able to miss me in a black Monaro.

If coming from trowbridge on the A361 just take the first right turn to Rode (it's on a left hand bend) then keep heading straight,you will come to the narrow bridge after approx 1 mile the pub is on the left on the far side of the bridge,you can't miss it

Please bear in mind that Frome Road through Southwick can have a mobile speed camera (hides down a track on the right handside as you are coming from Trowbridge towards the Mill) its in a 30 limit.

Do you live somewhere near Tesco in Trowbridge? I swear I saw that car parked around there somewhere today. I was cycling and nearly fell off .

Hope you had a nice time, I might try and make it back dependant on how long this takes.
