i commute on the M5 in Devon daily. there are no roadworks on the M5 at the moment, pretty clear and free running at non peak times.

with after the M5, depends which way you go, the A30 you have roadworks at whiddon down/merrymeet (roundabout works)...avoid stopping at these services if you can as they are chocca and its mental in there!

We are going down Friday to Trevornick near Newquay but are stopping overnight at a CC site. Lets hope the weather bucks up next week.

There are roadworks on the A30 beyond Bodmin but to the good - some good new stretches of road. 

I go the Exeter-Plymouth-Liskeard - Bodmin route - misses out Whiddon Down if busy.

The roadworks on the A30 are Bodmin, Indian Queens Road Improvements, they are going to be around for awhile.  We came back last saturday from Bodmin and the traffic was pretty bad, left Bodmin at about 11:30 and the traffic going into Cornwall was quite bad.  I think you'll be fine travelling on any day except a Saturday and leaving at that time.  We spent quite a bit of time up and back on the A30 during the ten days we were there and it only seemed to be a problem on the Saturday.

Hope you have a great time ... wish I was still there ... Quinnys 

Hi chrispt

Snap, We are off to Bude during the night, like you setting off early so hopefully we miss the traffic jams.

We went throught them Sunday morning with no trouble, but coming back yesterday about 4pm a totally different kettle of fish, it took ages.

Hope you have better weather than we did, very cold, wet and windy, was supposed to come home Saturday, but sons bedding got soaked in awning annexe and rain was relentless.
