Paging midlands trafpol

If you're looking for an easy addition to your quotas, this is the
route I'll be taking to the EOSM, unless anyone has any better
suggestions:

A404 to High Wycombe
A4010 to Aylesbury
A413 towards Towcester
A43 to Towcester
A5 to Hinckley
A447 via Ibstock to A511
A511 to Woodville
A514 to Derby
A6 to Duffield
B5023 then B5024 towards Cross o the Hands
A517 to Hulland Ward

A bit boring that one, but still better than the M1.

> A447 via Ibstock to A511

And here is where you go wrong and end up in gatso central.

So, A447...and just a little bit of A511
(there may or may not be gatsos on this stretch, but think you're safe).

Join the B587 just the other side of the M42.
(following signs for Melbourne, then Derby)

> A514 to Derby

Then take the faster and non Gatso-free
A50
A38 (north, signposted Derby)

The take the first exit after the A52 roundabout (it's about 6 or 7
miles after you get onto the A38, the sliproad being about 1/4 mile
after the second roundabout you come to)

435000,335000&st=4&ar=Y&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=ne wsearch.srf

Follow the signs for Keddleston, then Hulland.

The pub will be the first building you come to as you enter Hulland,
enjoy the ride, the roads (other than A50/A38) are all good fun.

That word shouldn't be there, I blame Stella Artois and her mysterious
spellchecker.

Dunno. Guessing it'll take 2-3 hours to get there, so maybe around noon?

The A5/M69 roundabout has a curiously non-stick surface,
particularly on the A5 west exit.
Better to look like a wimp than join all the BMWs in the ditch. :-)

Dunno, noonish? Depends what time people are going to be getting there,
really. And who else is going to tag along for the run.

<G> I was just finkin' dat.

Where you wanna meet up? Somewhere near you'd make most sense as I don't
mind blatting out West a smidge before heading North. Say the A404/A4
interchange rdbt or further up?

My gaff would make the most sense. Emailed. Then dnc can decide where he
wants to join the party.
