Try the A14 via kettering passing the north of Cambridge onto Bury St Edmunds then at Ipswich turn to south on the A12

It's duel carriageway almost all the way,this way avoids the M25 car park(LOL)

Hope you have a good trip leegough, we are on Fen Farm on Mersea Island, very nice peaceful site, is that the one your going to?

A14/A12 turn off at Stanway junction from A12 on the south side of Colchester and follow the signs to Mersea Island, the route can SOMETIMES be busy between Stanway and Mersea rd in Colchester, but no real probs.

Trev.

as said b4 go down A14 onto M11 then on to A120, A120 duel all the way to braintree normally flowing ok then single car'way from braintree to marks tey then join A12 and off at next juction for stanway colcester  then its only about 30mins from there.

just a note if you go past colchester zoo, the traffic can be quite bad trying to get in during school hols and if its a nice sunny day, builds up normally around 10am till 12pm
