Drive time to Nottingham

[hitony]

Can do it in two hours if the roads are clear but at that time of day give it 3 hours or so

Brighton to Nottingham is around 190 miles, so you can do an average of 95mph all the way ? somehow i don't think so.

Well, after careful cosideration, taking in all the expert advice, we have decided to leave Brighton at 9.30 am, hopefully arriving no later than 1.30pm, so as to paticipate in some ale consumption.

I thank you all.

Leaving Brighton circa 08:00

Nice leisurely drive through the Bank Holiday weekend traffic..DEEP JOY!

Well I used to live there (hence the name) and the quickest I ever did it was 3h 15mins... But I'm not much of one for speeding. The slowest was 8 hours, on a Friday evening. I always take the A1, then the A52 which is slightly further but quieter and better road with no roadworks. I'd bet on 4 1/2 hours with bank holiday traffic.

Having looked on the aa route planner, the M11/A1 route is only 11 miles further than the M1. It avoids the bad side of the M25, the roadworks on the M1, and brings you in the right side of Nottingham so definitely the better route.

Traffic on the M1 around Nottingham on Easter Monday's forecast to be a right bitch. Reckon you should leave a couple of hours early just in case it's a ball ache.

I went few yrs back and was about 2.5 hours, was booting it as running late for a family wedding, borrowed a mates 911 c4s, so should have been much quicker!!

I find viaMichelin quite consistent with their estimates. That is fairly regularly optimistic compared with my driving speed, in this country I add add 10 or 15 mins per hour, in Europe I fall further behind (I'm not very keen on joining in one of those characteristically gruesome French or Spanish super-accidents).

Plus, if you have a smash on the M11 this weekend, it'll be ME cutting you out of your car

Preferential treatment for anyone in an Albion shirt

M25/M40/A43/ M1. Trust me.

M25/M40/A43/ M1. Trust me.

Have they re-opened the M40 junction with the M25 southbound junction yet? On the way back from Carlisle and Huddersfield there were signs to say it was closed due to roadworks.
It's fine going north.
