TomTom is a bit slow, isn't it? I have done that journey back home in
3 hours in a Montego estate :-)


Sticking to the limits?...


My limits, yes :-)

Does that short stretch of the M42 have those annoying gantries with
speed limits on?


Donno, I rarely go further south than the M62 these days. As to the
M42 I spent quite a bit of time riding a push bike along it when they
were building it.


I can answer that my self, and it is no. :-)

The M6 S of Manchester is always a PITA until you get North of the M62.


Naw, not until you are north of Lancaster does it get nice.


You don't travel it so much as to notice :-)

Used to live in Wales and work in Glasgow. Meant a lot of travelling up
there. Luckily when I was doing that in the winter it seemed always to
be -10 but almost no snow.

As soon as I saw Lancaster on the way north I relaxed and looked forward
to the rest of the journey which I loved.
