Yes, I am in the North West, very close to Manchester Airport, so very close to motorway links in all directions.
Its about 160 miles by road, we have a 70mph speed limit on motor ways, but the last 30 miles is not motorway.
You need to get past Oxford which is always a bottle neck. Coming back the M6 gets really badly congested.
The TNMOC at Bletchley Park is a similar distance so I don't get there often....
..... It was easier to get to VCF Europe in Zurich than Aylesbury and the mini one they had in Nuremburg was also not bad....
.... I would rather fly and drive go to our house in Spain than drive that far in the UK.....
