Good point, the 40 mph average was based on the comments in the thread you pointed me to regarding the MG rally and specific requirements relating to speeds on and off motorways.
I've erred on the side of caution. Realistically I expect the relay to take less time overall than I've identified, but I don't want anyone to feel that they are under pressure to get their bit done in a specific time. Andrew

RBR Stage 4
Andrew,
can I suggest that I meet up with Mike123 at the Magor services on the Welsh side of the bridge as it is the only place that we can both get access to from the motorway. Mike |

Need Help
OK guys, Need some help here..
I've tried using AutoRoute to give me estimated times for each leg, but it comes up with an answer which I figure is about 2-3 hours over what it should take us. So as you are better placed to work this out.... Could you please give me an estimate of what you reckon how long your legs should take? Please copy and paste the following in toto, and add your times in here:- Mike123 Bristol to Magor Services tenerifemike Magor Services to Junction 33 Cardiff 48rov06 Junction 33 Cardiff to Swansea eurorover Swansea to Carmarthen thorfrun Carmarthen to Haverfordwest Haxx Haverfordwest to Eglwyswrw (via Fishguard) Dragrad Eglwyswrw to Aberystwyth 1 hour
