Google maps is offering me 3 options for driving from our rental in Thirsk, Yorkshire to Rottingdean in Sussex.
If we have stuff left in the fridge we can take a picnic lunch, but we'll still need to stop somewhere along the way to stretch our legs, and a bit of sightseeing along the way wouldn't be bad! If anyone knows these motorways and can give us any advice on which route is 'best', and which might offer the best options for a stop - just a few hours - please let us know! Thanks!
Option #1 is driving the A1, taking 5 hours, passing by Cambridge. The A1 is the only route w/ tolls, AFAIK.
Option #2 is taking the M1, which also takes 5 hrs, and passes by Nottingham.
Option #3, the M40, takes 6 hrs, and takes a westerly route, towards LIverpool and past Oxford.
Here's a link to the map (I hope!) https://goo.gl/maps/5WK4EEVzSJL2 - which unfortunately only shows one option, the M1 route.If we have stuff left in the fridge we can take a picnic lunch, but we'll still need to stop somewhere along the way to stretch our legs, and a bit of sightseeing along the way wouldn't be bad!
