    We're at Manchester Airport for 3.30am, but the m62 is closed. Anybody know the best way to the airport from Bradford? I appreciate not many of you live out this way, but thought I'd ask in case. Not sure I want us relying on the satnav which irritates the **** out of me.

    Cheers.

    Over to Halifax follow to Sowerby Bridge then Ripponden. Up to Rishworth moor get M62 there....

    Or at Rippoden follow Rochdale Littleboro sign then pick up M62 sign

    Don't bother going...just transfer your tickets into my name and I'll tell you what it was like. I'll even do a blog for you:p


    Probably be better coming to Dodworth and going over Woodhead. You pick the airport signs up at the other side. Middle of the night it should be quiet but watch them sheep ;)

    That's the most direct route but check before you set off as that's the way the diversion goes and can still be busy even at night .
