Cheers. I didn't know TomTom did bike routes. I know someone who has
one, I'll have a look at it.

Ken.

I have cycled on the A4 on the Hungerford to Newbury Section and although it
is pretty fast moving the road is particularly wide and I have rarely if
ever been bothered by traffic.

Thanks. That helps some (and confirms what I thought might be the case
from my point-of-view in a car)

I have used the A4 to cycle from Slough to Bath. It's really not too bad.

Brilliant! Thanks. It also takes all the effort out of mapreading. I
think the A4 might be the way to go.

As others have said it is wide and easy and with most of the traffic on
the M4 it is fairly quiet these days.
