I'd say the M62 and M6 will be the longest route whatever. Traffic that way can be a bloody nightmare, especially on a Friday. I'd go for the scenic A65 it'll probably be the fastest and nicest route.
What say the guys from up that way?



the route you suggest bondy is by far the best pick up the a65 as soon as you can near to leeds and follow it all the way through skipton / settle / kirkby lonsdale (visit devils bridge for a cuppa and a butty at the jcn of a65 and a693 ) then carry on to kendal / windemere turning right over kirkstone and landing at the campsite.

great route and if you are running early you can drop down into windemere and go see the boats good.gif
