(Dad getting his NB fix) If you go down the A46, instead of turning right for Bath, turn left on A4 within about ½ mile turn right signposted (easily missed) Bathampton narrow road goes over a toll bridge (50p) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Pink Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 . Thought you were working out my actual route home that we think is going to take us about a week. Do yourself gurt favour; take it as slowly as you can afford to, its much more fun, much more restful and you get to play in all those places along the way.
