thanks for the warning about the hill ,hopefully never going anywhere near it,as you say minehead is tight anyway,and the A39 was my only route to use cause box was 9’6 putting it over height,would have used A358 if that is better from taunton,or is it just as bad as the A39.when i was leaving minehead there was a load of traffic going towards there for the weekend,which didnt get much help from a artic going towards bridgewater,followed by loads of cars behind.
drop/tip was in a cul de sac used by tennis club parkers and no room meant a jack knife spin to come out and half a front lawn getting a extra heavy roll from the cab.

The A39 is better than the A358 
there are other ways but not recommended if you don’t know exactly where you’re going

they usually get out the way oops I’m not really using the size of my vehicle to intimidate other vehicles, I don’t go that way too often as I live up in the hills a bit and with the box on I run at a height of 13’8 so just go under the bridges ( If you got a tape out you’d find they’re nearer 14’ than 13’9 )

I sometimes tip in Minehead and then have to tip Braunton or Barnstaple and the advisory route for lorries through Wheddon Cross so as to avoid Porlock Hill is atrocious. Most of our drivers go back to the M5 rather than face it.
