Driving to Gosport

Have to be in Gosport for 4.30pm tomorrow . Travelling up through Devon which route is best, A303 to Winchester or A35/31 or is there a better one?

I do this trip (Plymouth/Portsmouth) once a week and take the A35/A31 route. I took the 303 route last week (via Yeovil) which added almost an hour to the trip (with a brief stop in Yeovil).

Bit scary leaving the county eh Kerns?

Thanks Tim, A35 it is then.

Mollers I have to travel with a car full, eldest son, uncle, grandfather & Nephew.
Really wish I was from Penryn,
would have only needed a 2 seater then.

I do Dartmouth - Portsmouth quite a lot and agree with Tim that the A30 - A35 - A31 route hs aways been best for me.

Often do the Devon to Fareham / Gosport route - t'others are correct in my book.

A303 is just a pain.

You're like the Cornish long distance lorry driver.

'Scuse me met, iz this London?'

'Yes, you're in London.'

'Ansome, where dee wan it?'

Well the trip was well worth it, my eldest passed his AIB (admiralty interview board) and has just received a call to say he has a place at Britannia Royal Naval College training in his preferred role as warfare officer starting in April!
To say I'm delighted & very proud somewhat understates it!

Excellent News Kernow, really pleased for you / him

I've decided that my 14 month old is going to be a Marine Biologist (If I had my time over etc).....living my life vicariously through him, he doesn't stand a chance...

Dan

Oh and a Welsh Cap wouldn't go amiss either.....

Another Cornishman in the big grey tubs.

How come if he gets his looks and his brains from his mother he gets all his money from me then!
