Never travel midday on a Saturday in High Season if we can help it.   If we are off down the M5, we wait until late Saturday afternoon before setting out when the mad rush has already gone off in front of us.   Get down to Somerset, stop overnight and make a really early start Sunday.  Do the same journey in reverse to come home.  We always book our main 2 weeks holiday Sunday to Sunday.  This way we also get  "extra" days tagged on to the holiday, once going out and again coming home and it makes for a leisurely journey!

Our experience is that while all of you are on the road early we are in bed getting a good rest. We set out around 10am when the early rush hour has gone we have a steady drive with a couple of stops and are set up before tea time feeling relaxed for the next day. We find if we go early we are too tired to do anything on the first proper holiday day. Oh and if we are going away for 2 weeks we never ever travel on a Saturday.
