M5/cheltenham Festival 12/03/13

[mccfluff]

going to brizzle tomorrow and just realised that the festival starts then.

Any idea on how bad traffic is likely to be. Meeting starts at 11.30 and i'd normally leave at 9.30, give me enough time to get there, park, get the office. (going from tamworth)

insert date and road ID, press "search".

in terms of M5 tomorrow, you'd need to add on 10mn for each of the 2 lots of roadworks south of J11A, plus 10mn to get past J11 because of the Cheltenham Festival.

cheers, just 10 mins then :-)

i guess - if you're confident that the roadworks won't hold you up.
