Removed Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 ok maporama suggests M60-62 then A1 guys from manchetser, and still it's about 252 km! so definitely over 2.5 hrs to ge there! going to get the tomtom and see what it says instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 A50 is a lot quicker road than the A1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 what do you mean? TomTom suggests A1 too btw. To get to the A50 you need to go about 50 miles of M6 though, and on a friday night it's bound to be busy, ok not as busy as M6 North, but still... been doing it for months now (going north) and on a friday it's always a nightmare!. A50 is relatively empty most of the peak times I've been going on it, just wondering if we make it MUCH longer Miles wise than way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 ok looks like we make it shorter by about 2 miles actually going M6 south, A500-50, then some other Aroad to get to the last bit of A1. So i guess we can try that one if everyone agrees. so Lymm services sounds good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 directions to where Liam? as I said, M 6 south, then off at J15, take the A500 for a bit then follow the A50 towards uttoxeter, but basically all the way through until the end of the A50, meeting the M1, I would guess we can meet Chris @ Donny services, which are off the roundabout that also connects the A50 to the M1, so it's very on the way.
