martinmac Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I dont think their is a definitive answer to this but here goes. These are my options and I am looking to steer clear of as much snow as possible. Tuesday. Cumbria to Fourwentways Travelodge near Stansted. M6, M61, M62 A1 A14. Or go straight down the M6 then over the A14 What do you reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
