    Or in a rocket car from Scotland.

    130 miles from Tarn.</p>

    You'll make it in 2 hours if there are no other cars on the roads.</p>

    Good luck with that.</p>

    does that happen often?
    I don't get out much so I wouldn't know

    I'd say two hours is easily do-able in a car with an engine...n/t

    RE: no other cars on the roads

    I think that at lunchtime on a Saturday there will be not a single other car on the road.
    Apart from ours.
    To miss most of the traffic we plan to go via Morrisons at Brampton, Parkgate Retail Centre, Meadowhall & the 'clog the roads Carnival' in Spofforth.

    We are setting off at 11am.

    To the Omega.

    It takes exactly an hour to get to J23A from Oakwell so you should be OK. I'd fancy my chances. Parking at MK is very good too, last year I arrived 15 mins before kick off and lots of parking right by ground.

    What has J23A got anything to do with it?

    MK is about J13 or 14 on the M1.

    What I meant was that I know it takes 1 hour to get to 23A and as MK is not as far again it should be OK. Makes sense to anyway!

    Ah, fair enough.

    Barnsley - MK is about 2 and a half hours...but if you really boot it(and not get caught) then it can probably be done in 2hours!

    Considering it's just one big straight line the whole way (zzz)
