    About 3 and a half hours to Cheltenham from Haywards Heath. I think it's slightly quicker than when I went from Haywards Heath to Wareham for Strictly Bulleids 2 last year (although that was more convoluted due to my cheap tickets app getting me to change at Clapham Junction, Basingstoke and Southampton Airport Parkway that day, albeit the changes weren't too long luckily).

    Its about the same timing or a bit less by road, without having to tart around in Cheltenham, getting up to the racecourse. And once you come off the A40, and run through the lanes to Winchcombe, the landscape is made in heaven!

    Newt time you drive, come off the A40 at Burford and go via Stow-on-the-Wold to Toddington (A424/B4077) - the scenery is even more stunning and going this way avoids Cheltenham's traffic chaos.

    I'm back there sometime in the next month or so (C&W upholstery are doing a commission for me), so I'll give the Stow-on-the-Wold route a try, then drop down via Didbrook and Hailes to Winchcombe. Cheers, John.
