Re: Motorways - who's bagged them all.....
I was overlooking it on purpose. I've driven every single one. I had Ireland too but there are some new sections now I need to do and living in the USA now isn't going to make it easy to get the new sections inchris486 wrote:You'd have quite a journey if you'd overlooked the A308(M) and wanted to put it right.

How about some more beans Mr. Taggart?
Re: Motorways - who's bagged them all.....
By an amazing coincidence I drove the length of the M50, both ways, yesterday, moving on from Worcester to a place south of Hereford. Indeed it hasn't changed much. Two lane, no hard shoulder past bridges (including the long Severn viaduct at Tewkesbury). Some of the overbridges had stone-faced abutments, presumably original. It actually had more traffic midday than I expected. It reminded me somewhat of the older Autobahnen in Germany, with these features and decidedly short/right angled junctions. At least the nearby places were not all called Ausfahrt.WHBM wrote:I don't think I've driven on the M50 for about 35 years. I presume it hasn't changed much.
Re: Motorways - who's bagged them all.....
I have done the full length of all of the GB motorways, in fact only just finished the feat with a stretch of the M876 last month.
Only done part of the NI ones though so cannot keep up with Truvelo.

Oh yeah ... I've done the whole length of all the NI ones, except M12.A428_Owen wrote:I have done the full length of all of the GB motorways, in fact only just finished the feat with a stretch of the M876 last month.

I've also done the whole length of the RoI M1, M2, M4, M11, M18 and M50.
I've done all of the M7 except the last few kms.
Re: Motorways - who's bagged them all.....
I did have a list which I put in another thread here years ago but can't find it....
I haven't been to Northern Ireland. In Great Britain, I still need to do these (possibly again to be sure!):
M32 ?
M49 ?
M57 ?
M69
M73
M77
M271
M275
M876
A48(M)
A627(M)

I've done the full length of all the motorways in Ireland (north and ROI) apart from the new section of M11 and the Port Tunnel.

Re: Motorways - who's bagged them all.....
I'm pretty sure I've done everything in GB and NI but I've done nothing roads-wise in RoI apart from the bus into town from Dublin Airport!
For years now I've been planning to get over to see all the new stuff but something else always seems to crop up to get in the way.

J11A-15 has always been tangential to me, and the one time I took the A417/9 route* (with Ritchie333 driving back to the Soton area after the 2005 AGM), it was via M50 J3 and the A40 between Gloucester and Ross.Owain wrote:You appear to be missing the M5 between Strensham and Bristol, which happens to pass through some of the most glorious countryside you will see from any British motorway!si404 wrote:about 57% of British and Irish Motorways.
*also tangential to me for most of my life, and when I was in Southampton it was hard to persuade drivers, as a non-driver, to ignore signs for The MIDLANDS and go via the just-as-good route via Swindon and Gloucester to get to the Midlands when seeking the A5 towards Wales.

Yep, been end to end a few times, not both ways in a day though, only as far south as the m50 and back again.

But he has. I've been on the roundabout at the start of it, and I think I've actually been on the one at the other end, but I don't think why I'd I've actually been on it.Chris Bertram wrote:A308(M) also missing. By accident?

The usual reason is to get from Maidenhead to the M4. Though that's not my normal reason - I'd be heading from Birmingham to Woking!BeenEverywhere wrote:Nope
