Hello you all, I've been there before but the last time we visited the road had changed and we got a little lost.
Coming up from the sunny South West we get almost to London no problem. Is junction 1 or 2 we take off the Motorway?

Tom,

-Straight up the M3 which turns in to the A316
-At the 3rd Roundabout turn left on to London Road / Twickenham Road straight on for two to 3 miles (past west mid hospital) straight on through traffic lights up the hill
-Turn right on to the A4 at Gillette Corner (Great big clock tower at big traffic lights.)
-On to the A4. When you go underneath the M4 Elevated section stay in the left lane and turn left directly at the petrol station.
-Follow the Ealing road all the way to Ealing. At the end of the road turn left and you will see Ealing town Hall on you right.

Sound complicated but it is really only 4 roads and the shortest rout from the M3

Or just follow the AA road signs to the 50th BFCC. [Wink]

By the way, the A303 is shut around Marsh - the Devon Somerset border. You have to continue up the M5 a couple more junctions and then take a diversion over to the A303. Also, the A38 is down to a single lane a few miles outside of Plymouth and they've had up to 10 mile tailbacks. Shouldn't be a problem assuming you are leaving early enough Tom.
