Bradford‑on‑Avon to Bristol: The Satnav’s Bizarre 4‑Mile U‑Turn via Bath

A routine drive from Bradford-on-Avon to Bristol takes an unexpected turn — literally. Instead of sending us straight toward Bristol, the satnav adds a surprising 4‑mile loop north of Bath, taking us up the A46, back down into Bath, and only then west toward Bristol. Satnav logic at its finest. This video follows the full journey with clear on-screen subtext identifying every road, town, village and city along the way. The satnav’s unusual routing isn’t shown as a decision moment, but the route itself — including the 4‑mile loop — is fully documented.
