The A303 at 1000mph....win a bottle of bubbly for fun!

We think you regulars who make the journey along the A303 each weekend - twice, will already know that it's taking longer since the closure of the A344 past Stonehenge.  So lets get some fun out of it......!
We have an unclaimed bottle of bubbly from last year and another one for this year starting today.....
if you can film your journey either east bound or west bound.
Check out my learned friend Dr Andrew Shuttleworth's blog for all the details, watch the video, and read rules of the competition here:

Posting this as much to see if posting here works or not (never does for me!!) Soliton effect was in evidence this afternoon. I drove westbound on the A303 at about 16:40 between Amesbury and Longbarrow. Eastbound traffic very light at Stonehenge Bottom, bunched up at Byway 12 (not by people turning onto Byway but people slowing down to look at Stonehenge), then free flowing until about 500 metres east of Longbarrow. From there, through the roundabout and all the way up to Berwick Down (how many miles?) traffic was solid or stationary. All three lanes of the roundabout were being used by vehicles going straight on along the A303. The entire jam was being caused by cars in these three lanes all fighting to get into one. So, miles of stationary traffic being caused by the totally crap design of the Longbarrow roundabout, and drivers' selfishness. We did tell them it was a crap design though didn't we! Oh, and Byway 12 was full of cars both sides of the A303. And westbound traffic was very light!
