It’s bad enough for 1 night but a full weekend is a complete ball ache

The link mentions horse racing…
What are they closing it for? Something to do with the reservoir work on Hagbourne Hill?
Does anyone follow these official diversions which normally are planned to please NIMBYs or do they use common sense and plan their own route?

Wot about J14 M4, north on A338 to Wantage then A417 to either didcot back to A34 or to Faringdon and onto A420 to botley A34…

It says closure for bridge repair work, the diversion is put for hgv’s with a shorter one for cars and caravans, usual NIMBY thing villagers dont want lorries through thier village kind of thing.
But if you know a better route then should be ok.
