My son left Huddersfield at 13:00 to drive to Swindon area ... still not here ... just texted from junction 6 M5 ..seems the M5 has just been closed, don't know which side of 6 he is :(

Apparently according to his on-board computer he has averaged 22 mph :(

Wonder what time he'll get in  :-/

[edit] Further text, road is closed infront of him... hes now trying to work out a route home ...  :-[

Oh yes M5 is knackered Glos/Chelt area  :( Its been on the local radio

Text him back dont try the local/back routes.....the cotswolds area is bad....i know i was out that way this afternoon.....birmingham way to swin....via the cotswolds is out.....or was   :-/

I spent 5 hours this afternoon chasing jobs.....out that way.....i was 1hr late on one.....best was 15mins late....all buggered off and no pickups  :( 5 hours and 1/2 tank fuel used  :(

Gave up in the end and headed home......took me 2 hours to go 3 miles at one point  :( :o

Well, everyone was cramming onto the M5 at 10pm, and it wasn't moving. I wanted to go to Cardiff - couldn't use M5 for this reason, and couldn't go through forest of dean, as flooded.

So, back lanes to Cirencester, A419 to Swindon, M4 right down to severn bridge and cardiff. Not one hold up at all  ;D

Trains may have been invented here, but public transport is a foreign concept!

Update :

The Boy got home at 03:30 ... 13 hours to do a 4 hour drive ... he got to Oxford no problems .. then A420 to Swindon .. got to outskirts to find the road blocked and had to go back to Oxford, A34 to M4 Newbury junction.. then to J16 and home ... one tired lad .. but at least he was safe.

We all went to Daughters Graduation .. was a good presentation... now setting up the party she knows nothing about .. we hope ... speak tomorow if the hangover alows  :)

Thanks to all for concern shown and advice

Regards
