Whats the best way to Chesham from the M4 ??

TomTom says M25/J18/A404

Autoroute says A404/M40/A355

I don't know that part of the world at all .. so open to suggestions :)

I plan on leaving Swindon around 0930-1000.

If anyone in the Swindon area wants to go and would like to grab a lift ... I'll be more than happy to take you ... give me a yell ....  I've got 4 empty seats....  :)

:)

Personally when I travelled extensively in this area I would go up M4 from Swindon to Maidenhead, take 404(M) / A404 Junction,

travel up A404 to Amersham, then North to Chesham.

I would avoid the M25 like the plague, and in anycase that is going a  long way around.!

Hope this helps! :y

Lizie .. so stick on the A404 right through High Wycombe ??  

Looked the "straightest" route to me .. but not sure why both TT and AR decide to ignore it !!!

Thanks  :)

The M25 ain't that bad and should be OK on Sunday dependant upon what time you drive, I always use the M25 just to go to Watford via A2, and dartford tunnell rather than drive through london, and it's just as quick, and the car gets a decent run :y

Yes indeed straight through High Wycombe, via Haselmere, to Amersham  on to Chesham.

These electronic guides are fine for straight forward routes for the inexperienced who doen't mind the extra mileage for simplicity, but ex-professional car drivers like myself know the quickest routes usually!

All the best

Maybe Mike, but when you do not have to use the M25 it is best not too, and anyway on a Sunday I have been held up far too many times for long periods on that 'Heathrow / M4' section, especially when it has been raining. The accidents I have witnessed are something else! :'( :'(

I would leave M4 up 404 Marlow bypass, straight over Handycross roundabout into Wycombe, up the big hill all the way to Amersham, then Amersham-on-the-Hill, then down to Chesham. WIM is right on that edge of Chesham
