using the route that the OP already has is 36 miles and 49 minutes, this route is 41 miles and 56 minutes however it would only be 11 miles until he joins the M5 as opposed to the 15 minutes on the original route - this is according to AA rote planner.

I would say that if the OP is uncomfortable on the A38 then I fear he would not be any better on the smaller A roads of this route.

Chad.

Especially if you know the area.

On another point I did buy a map the other day to keep in the 75, even though IG0 8 on the DD does a good job. One cannnot blindly rely on any GPS every time.
