Don't understand the point of this thread. 2000 miles round Britain and some traffic difficulties reaching a destination near one of the most conjested cities in Europe and folk are whining? Why not get rid of that long drive down to Land's End from Gordano when everyone hits "the wall"? That's a difficult bit. We could lose that. Or what about the slow single track bit round Loch Naver which takes a lot of time or the other slow bit over Dartmoor? We could lose them too. Face the fact that this is a unique event in this day and age. We drive on motorways, dual carriageways and single track roads. We drive on deserted roads in the middle of the night when it's well past our bedtime. No one moans about these difficulties but a bit of traffic and there's complaints? You get the chance to drive in just about every traffic condition and just about every type of weather that can be thrown at you. A bit of conjestion is just the same. All part of the challenge of the event. Replot your route if you run into traffic. We're all big boys and girls and we're allowed to make our own decisions now. I'd change nothing. For me, driving in heavy traffic is something I don't get to do too often but when it happens, I find another route. Didcot to the Plough? Just another part of the RBRR legend. Jim.
