Done it once or twice, but it might at least keep moving. I did that a few weeks back after a crash on M6 and it wasn't good. Those roads are narrow and were too busy. It took bloody ages and the motorway was still open then (down to one lane) so Christ knows what they would have been like. Best to just avoid if possible. I bet those who live anywhere near the A6 between Preston and Carnforth are having a right mare getting about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe canoe down the effluent coast and disembark at Preston! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove back on Sunday, was busier than expected but no more so than a usual Sunday afternoon really. Took about 4 1/2 to get to south london. M25 was clearish, M6 clear as a bell (using the toll) Only time I stopped really was around the Trafford centre. Personally I'd be more concerned about going to Guildford (which I've got to.do on tuesday) hate the place with a passion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
