allatsea Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Next week I've got a couple of days in Halifax. I will be driving up from Birmingham, staying over and then returning to Surrey. I've probably got quite a bit of spare time for both journeys and time in hand over the two days I'm there.....so a question for those who live in that part of the country or know it well....are there any bits of road, routes that you'd seek out to drive? Is its worth a trip into the Peak District on the way north? Is there a loop into the countryside around Halifax worth going out of my way for? At some stage I'll also go across to Leeds, is there a special way I should go? Most of the journeys will be done during the week/not especially early/late. Will I just get clogged up by traffic and wish I was back on the motorway!! Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Put this in the Meets section. If you can get up at 5.30 am I'm sure a couple of regulars here will show you some nice roads, back by lunchtime? ...though when you park up back at your meeting hotel / Auntie Mabel's, check there is no plastic phallus stuck to the back of your car before you walk away.

Novice mistake. ... The plastic knob always goes on the front of the car 🤐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthonysjb Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Avoid the M1 back like the plague, M40 a much nicer drive if a little longer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I will, originally from Birmingham and still have family there so go back fairly regularly, ended up coming back on the M1 at Easter after they closed the M40...reminded me to 'avoid'.
