Can anyone offer any advice on best road maps or sources of infomation with regard to planning journeys within the UK, specifically for locating and and avioding low bridges.

Thanks Mitch

A truckers atlas is a good investment , they show the low bridges and weight restriction etc . If you've a lot of dosh to spend try one of the up market sat navs where you can program the size of the vehicle into the sat nav

Michelin maps show all bridges under 4.5 metres. If its not marked its OK!! Sticking to D/D bus routes is also a good idea, however its not necessarily the bridges you need to worry about its the low branches on trees on a lot of roads that now have single deck buses.

I got a low bridges program for my Tom Tom. Takes a bit to install it, as you have to set each height with a warning sound of your choice, but I'm guessing its worth it. You can get it on a site called LowBridges It is reasonably priced at £9.95.

I can't vouch for its total accuracy, and would just use it as a backup to keeping an eye peeled.

Side note: I had to fit a 24 to 12 volt converter, so I can plug the SatNav in.

If anyone plans to be in London on Saturday Afternoon (March 26th) between 1:30 and 3:30, our bus will be on Trafalgar Square. Come by and say hello.
