Re my other post...ive got to make a cross border raid tomorrow to pick up SWMBO`s new Omega.

Flying down from Glasgow to Bournemouth then driving all the way back up instantly.

Jst wondering if any one needs any parts shuttled up the country - happy to make a detour to colect and drop off if it helps anyone and its roughly on my route....p

Also what services should i avoid and which ones are okay for stops? Predominatly on the M6

 

Just read your PM and replied Mark.

If you want to stop off for a break at Hoddesdon on your way back you're more than welcome. I'm only a gnats chuff away from the M25

[Markie]

Are you doing M5 M6 or M40 M42 M6?

the later option Martin - I gather theres a toll motorway on one of those roads...?

£4 on the M6. Worth every penny to avoid the M6 bit around Brum.  Actually, if you do M6/M5, you avoid the M6 toll completely.

M40 takes you past Brackley TB & Tunnie

M5 takes you past Cheltenham and Worcester JamesV6CDX & me

depends really what you want todo.

M6 toll never been on it as I always do M5 or M42

Thats worse than my epic of Chester to Yeovil!

As for services to avoid....all of em!  The one I hate the most is Charnock Richard, in Lancashire, around Camelot signs, just before Preston.  Won worst services award as few times.
Highly recommended is Tebay, North lakes, about 10 miles before the Penrith / Keswick turn off.
The one near Stoke is OK

Its only really around this area I know, don't go South very often

Good luck with the trip!

Of course it is

Take care on your journey and make sure you don't get any tickets!
