Having a little route problem. I remember when going into Weymouth their's a very steep windy road. Is their another way in and especially out as I dont really want to use that road. Im coming from the west country.

Thanks in advance

Are you talking about the hairpin bend on the A354?

I would say its easily negotiated with a caravan.  There is plenty of warning and as long as you don't try to take it fast, you'll be OK.  There is a 30mph speed limit on  the approach to it anyway.

Yes there is an alternative which entails going across country from Dorchester via Came Down, however it is a much worse road than the A354 so I wouldn't recommend it with a caravan.  I use it all the time but only when solo.  As Anne says the hairpin should be just fine, take it steady that's all.

hi devon-surfer

take that A354,no problems at bend,as stated take it easy,it is the main coach route in and out of weymouth,but keep an eye ahead as you start down and you will see em coming up,when are you going tho,?

Thanks for the info, I from my memory I was worried mainly about going up the big hill.....

Im looking at going to East Fleet caravan club

Hi Devon Surfer

We went to bagwell farm last year and used the B3157 .A little bit tight in places but no problems and we even came back the same way after having been caught in the traffic coming out of weymouth to dorchester during weekdays.
