Thanks to all. interested in the suggestion via to go via blackwall tunnel. The RAC routefinder tells me if i want to go to blackwall tunnel to take the north-circular in the easterly direction all the way out to the A12 and then follow it back in on a south westerly direction. Which seems a bit convoluted to me. My main issue with that would be the queues along the **** section of the A406 (from Bounds Green Road to Clockhouse junction) and the queues getting off at Redbridge for the A12 - I've always found it quicker to stay on all the way to the A13 since they've improved it. When I ask it for the shortest route to edenbridge from finchley it says: finchley rd park lane vauxhall bridge streatham A23 croydon limpsfield crockham hill. Do you think someone with a lot of driving experience writes in these programs, or does the computer blindly just do as its told, when asked for the shortest route? Hmm, the latter, definitely. Sat-nav and route-planners in general leave huge amounts to be desired in terms of planning around real-world traffic conditions. -- "For want of the price of tea and a slice, the old man died." |
