I'm driving down to gloucester on sat, via manchester (si is coming too :-) and in order to cut petrol costs (and generally to get into the spirit of things!) I was wondering if anyone else would like to come too...
] This is the quickest route that Autoroute came up with: ] Time Instruction Road Dist Dir Towards ] 00:00 DEPART York (N Yorkshire) on the A19 1/4 mile NW (Shipton) ] 00:00 Turn left onto A1036 4 miles S ] 00:09 Turn right onto A64 17 miles W (Tadcaster) ] 00:33 Turn off onto A6120 1 mile S ] 00:34 Turn off onto A64 4 miles W Leeds ] 00:40 At A58(M) turn off onto A58(M) 1/2 mile W *Check access* ] 00:40 At Kirkstall stay on the A58(M) 1 mile W (A58(M)) ] 00:41 At A58(M) stay on the A58 1/2 mile S *Check access* ] 00:42 Turn off onto A643 1 mile S (M621 J2) ] 00:43 At M621 J2 turn right onto M621 4 miles W (M621 J1) ] 00:47 At M62 J27 M621 turn off onto M62 38 miles W (Denshaw) ] 01:19 At M62 J13 turn off onto A572 2 miles W Leigh ] 01:22 Turn right onto A577 1 mile N Wigan ] 01:25 ARRIVE Tyldesley (Gtr Manchester) ] 01:25 DEPART Tyldesley (Gtr Manchester) on the A577 1 mile E ] 01:28 Turn left onto A572 2 miles E (M62 J13) ] 01:31 At M62 J13 turn right onto M62 10 miles S (Huyton) ] 01:39 At M62 J10 M6 J21a turn off onto M6 73 miles SE (Lymm) ] 02:43 At M6 J8 M5 turn off onto M5 52 miles S Avonmouth ] 03:29 At M5 J11 turn off onto A40 5 miles W Ross ] 03:36 Turn off onto A38 1/2 mile S ] 03:37 Bear left onto A430 1 mile S ] 03:39 Bear right onto Unnamed 1/4 mile S Gloucester ] 03:40 ARRIVE Gloucester (Gloucestershire) Now if anyone else who lives on that route (or can get a lift to part of the route from a mate, say) wants a lift to gloucester, doesn't mind me choosing the music on the stereo and isn't too bothered about my sometimes-erratic driving, mail me at the address I have above, ie [EMAIL PROTECTED], aswell as [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- my york address will disappear soon, and will probably do it just when someone sends me some mail, but the link to mcc is up and down tonight so it's probably best to send it to both boxes... I don't really want to make too much of a diversion from the route though, the journey's going to be long enough as it is... but a mile or so would be just about acceptable... Sorry this is so late but we only decided about 10 minutes ago :-) Cheers Geoff
