Wet and Windy with a 40mph speed limit on the M4. Easy to find the Travelodge and there were spaces in the Carpark. There was a Tesco Express nearby and just around the corner from it was the footbridge across the railway. Just along from the Railway Station was the Prince of Wales. The town centre was a minute or two walk. Costa for breakfast and into the Bridge House, Spoons for the rest of the morning. It was new and clean but the WiFi was slow. The Prince of excellent but no WifI, so sit near the window if you are an Untappd user. The Travelodge was also new and clean but suffered from slow WiFi, booked a Full English.

Poor Driving Conditions

Wet, windy and cold with a 40 mph speed limit on the M4 due to poor weather conditions. It was light when I arrived at the Chippenham Travelodge, which is in easy reach of a Tesco Express, The Railway Station, Sainsbury’s Local and the town centre. The Prince of Wales is just down the road from the station. The local Spoons, The Bridge House is on the banks of The River Avon but is let down by slow WiFi.

The Prince of Wales Micro. Awesome but no WiFi, so sit near the window. Awesome welcome, awesome Ales and awesome Merch too. I have to return. This has been a quality Beano.

Already planning a return

Cold, dark and wet to start with a 40mph poor driving conditions warning on the M4. It did actually get light by the time I arrived in Chippenham. The Travelodge is nicely sited and The Prince of Wales micro pub is just across the railway line (via the bridge). Costa Bacon Roll and Coffee to start.
