Gosh! Really OH? I thought you were a Landener through and through!

Can't afford somewhere big enough and with a decent sized garden, plus there's nice countryside and beaches.

Also you can get a lot for your money in Devon, and in coming years with more people home working the price differences between the south east and elsewhere may reduce.

Congrats

Are you still based at the Cambridge Science Park?

I've been renewed until the end of the year, but once I move to Devon the weekly commute will be a drag.

Any suggestions for the quickest daytime route from Cambridge to, say, Bristol? I presume M11, M25, M4 isn't necessarily it on a friday evening at 6pm (although it is probably fairly optimal going the other way at 10pm on a sunday).

I plotted what looked quite a good one skirting Milton Keynes and down past Oxford towards Swindon. But I suspect that would involve literally dozens of roundabouts round M.K.

Nick - Have a CCL

OH - We go down to Devon at least once a month and the worst bit is Tottenham to the A40 at Hangar Lane via A406 North Circular.

The A40-M25-M4-M5 bit is usually pretty alright, obviously there are rare occasions where it majorly f..ks up but generally home (N17) to my place in Devon is 3.5 hours.

I would suggest an early or late departure to avoid the peak rush hour on a Friday.

As mentioned, I was looking forward to some well-earned bench time after this week.

Just been asked if I can do another quick project. Just another month, but hey, it's billable time

Well you're having a whether you like it or not!

Back in the dim & distant I worked in Letchworth.

MK & routes west are somewhat slow.

I was aiming for Tewksbury, so went via Chipping Norton & Stow on the wold, not to mention the delights of Upper & Lower Slaughter.

And yes, there are a shedload of roundabouts in MK.

I wonder if the S is still missing from the roadsign...

Same thing here - Just been told they want to drag out the dog end of my contract for another month so I know how you feel.

Congrats anyway

No, haven't been in Cambridge since last year - I'm out in the wilds of the East Midlands now, within reach of home. Premier Inn shareholders are facing a lean year

No idea of what would be a good route from Cambridge to Bristol I'm afraid, except that there probably isn't one. There aren't really any good routes from Cambridge to anywhere as far as I can tell
