Default Find me a fun route

OMO recommend me a fun route from Leeds to Derby since I'm heading to Donington this weekend!

Originally planned to just blat down M1 and get it over with, but just wondering if anyone knew that part of the world well enough to recommend a more scenic / fun route which aint gonna take all day / add tooooo much extra time to the journey??

Google REALLY lies!
The brother in laws pub is 2min from Bakewell. It takes no more then 1.5hr to get there, knock some off that as you're on the bike and you get my 1hr15 estimate. Bakewell to Derby/Notts airport is nothing more than an hour I'd plan the whole thing your door to the track about 2hrs, 2.5 TOPS
