Rider Fatigue

[Phil]

take the old Seven crossing M48 to Chepstow. Then Monmouth, Hereford, and A49, 

I sometimes go up from Poole to Oulton Park and use that route. It takes a bit longer than M5/M6, but there are some nice roads through great scenery up the Wye Valley to Monmouth and through the hills around Church Stretton.  If on a bike has to be the 1st choice of route if you have a little longer.
The A4110 to the West of Leominster can be a bit quieter than the A49.
