Welcome aboard Sledge Smile the services are just before junc 17 eastbound but there is a back road which you can take from junc 17 to the road where we are meeting at 6.20, from there it's only 20mins to castle combe on the a/b roads

Cheers MattyP

I believe I've finally found our meeting point:
maps - meeting point is the exit to the a/b road located north-east of the services, leading to going over the bridge southwards

Google Maps do not show it as a valid road, that was the problem

Cheers MattyP, I'll be travelling eastbound and easiest for me is to stop at the services. When will you be leaving those?

I can't find the mysterious road you are talking about, especially when eastbound services look completely isolated from any other roads except the motorway

Cool Smile will be leaving at 6.25 so we arrive at combe with plenty of time to que lol if you get directions from the services to castle combe it shows a road from the back of the services and goes across the m4

ok now i'm now confused, my iphone shows the above yet on the aa route planner it says to go to junc 17 and head towards chippenham and take the a420 for a bit lol
