Britpick Question

[amberfocus]

Does anyone know how long it takes to drive from London to Cardiff on a typical weekend day and then a weekday evening leaving Cardiff around sevenish and heading back?  I know it's 132 miles, but I'm more concerned with time than distance.  Time depends on speed limits, rush hours, traffic and road conditions, so if anyone has experience with it could you let me know?  Also is there a good midway point where you'd stop and stretch your legs or get a bite to eat?  A restaurant, a park, something like that?

its been a few years since being in the UK, i really want to go back, most of my family is there. And Wittshire was always having some form of problems. I remember the pot klin because of my father and me went there. it was nice and peaceful and the food was awesome. a little bit of a drive off the motorway but worth it. Oh i forgot about the bridge, toll booths are a pain

Wiltshire's biggest problem is they think that Horse and Cart is the main form of transport (can I just say that having been brought up in Wiltshire, and specifically a town that is the back end of nowhere in Wiltshire, I can say that with confidence)

But Wiltshire is beautiful, and I got back often as my family is still in the back end of nowhere.

But my dad had to do London to Cardiff a couple of times, he's also the only person I know to be caught speeding INTO Wales.

Thank you, that's good to know.
