East Side (a car parking query)

[TheNewUnion]

as the big day approaches, I'm adopting a belt and braces approach to my journey.

Plan is to head to (the delightfully named) Michael Wood Services on Tuesday night, booked in at the days inn. Planning on an early start on the Wednesday but I am concerned about how to get to the East Carpark from the services.

I've multimapped it and looked on TOS but the multimap directions are way over complicated and TOS are way simple.

Question is basically, how do I get to East Car Parks from the M5 (Mr Wood services) without getting hopelessly lost?

Last year I got directions from my house to Glasto on a tiny bit of paper (M6, M5, Jct 23, follow the signs)

Cheers

Thanks guys.

Earl, top tips there much appreciated. Sounds really simple to get to the A37 from Michael Wood, M5, M4, M32 then look for the A4 then the A37 - is that about it?

Getting through Bristol can be a swine though, I think it will take a bit longer than an hour, I am thinking of going straight down the M5 to junction 21 then travelling through Cheddar, Wells, Shepton Mallet, I know its longer but it should be about the same time as the other way and you avoid the million sets of traffic lights in bristol

Thanks for the replys guys, thought it might be a bit of a 'mare getting round Brizzle but seems fairly straight forward from the description. The Jct 21 Cheddar, Wells, Shepton option sounds pretty good too, might give it a whirl if I'm feeling saucy!

Last couple of times I've travelled down we've passed through Bristol around 6am and it's been alright though chances are we've just got lucky! Though we seem to end up on some sort of by-pass nowadays (seemed to go more through the centre in 2003/04).
