Thinking? It's too early for that yet But I'm thinking 10 oclock as an earliest, burn a tank before lunch...

It's possible I might not stick entirely to the posted speed limit as well, that's worth mentioning- I'm not sure where you stand on that, I won't be doing ridiculous speeds but there's no chance I'll stick at 70 when the roads allow it...

Sounds like the start of a plan. I'll check out the route and the times tomorrow.

When did I say anything about sticking to 70 There's leisurely and there's leisurely.

You never know, you might have been one of these non-criminal types...

The actual route there, if all you want to do is get there, is a piece of cake. I think it's M64 and M6, and that takes us almost all the way. Very boring, however.

I go up and down the M74/M6 all the time in the cage.

There is not that many about. Just need to keep a wary eye on the bridges and at Junctions.
