pantherslair 0 Posted June 8, 2005 You could always miss the M50 on Sunday and take a detour along the M4 to watch the Mghty Bees sting the Robins. What do yout think Jay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay 1 Posted June 8, 2005 I think you've been talking to my wife Pantherslair and trying to get me to take her to see her favourite man... even before me.. Rosco! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
louisec 0 Posted June 8, 2005 The M50 WILL be closed. All you have to do is stick to the M4 and go over the bridge (it's ok, we don't charge you to get out, after all, we want to get rid of you) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> hey SCB, English people dont mind paying to enter a 3rd World country and given the choice we would be happy pay to leave it.

Rob B 1,267 Posted June 8, 2005 If you come from the north you don't have to go on the M50, well we don't anyway!!Were going on the M6, M5 and then the M4 to Cardiff!! Wots up with that?? LOL you've always been going the long way plus been paying the tolls then. M50 cuts that out and is quicker. I bet they didn't close the M50 for the FA cup final a couple of weeks ago.

Gemini 4,894 Posted June 8, 2005 Just to clear this up for a thick person like me who is trying to work out all the different permitations..... will I be able to get off the M5 at junction 8 and go on the M50 for 22 miles until it reaches the A449? Only my navigator is not very reliable sometimes so I want to be clear before I set off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think its quicker for us down M50 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sloop 0 Posted June 8, 2005 In the past, we have exited the M5 at J8, taken the M50 / A40 / A449 to Newport, then M4 to Cardiff. More scenic than crossing the bridge. IF (part of) the M50 is closed, you can continue on the M5 to J11, then take A40 / A449 / M4. I hope Return journey ? Who cares ? Got all day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay 1 Posted June 9, 2005 Sloop is correct. As far as I can see you have 2 alternatives Gem. 1) You go all the way down the M5 turning off at the M4 and go over the bridge and pay the toll (mentioning money again, i'll get told off by LW). 2) M4 until Gloucester and pik up the A40 to Ross-on-Wye and then that connects to the M50 and you can then continue down the M50 (And no toll to pay). The choice, is yours!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tigerblade 221 Posted June 9, 2005 2) M4 until Gloucester and pick up the A40 to Ross-on-Wye and then that connects to the M50 and you can then continue down the M50 (And no toll to pay). Bit too narrow and twisty for my liking that one. M5/M50/A449/M4 has always been the best one for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
