The quickest route from Gate 6 to the Charterville Allotments A40 on-ramp is about 2.5 miles. Instead of turning left along Carterton Road at the Brize Norton mini-roundabout, continue north along Manor Road and Minster Road to the B4477 roundabout.

The proposed processional route along Carterton Road, round the Norton Way roundabout and the Monahan Way roundabout to the B4477 roundabout adds over 1.5 miles to the route. It has clearly not been selected for expediency.

Unfortunately, despite protests, the stupid design of Monahan Way means that RAF Brize Norton still does not have a good road connection with the A40. Alternative proposals for the road to terminate at the Asthall barrow roundabout were rejected.

Certain Cartoontown low-life make a hobby of defacing the place; I sincerely hope that the proposed memorial garden on Monahan Way will be adequately safeguarded.
