From Swindon, you can be onto the m42 in 75 minutes, knowing it's somewhere near Leed ish? I would speculate 3.5 hours traffic permitting?

I am thinking the same, Dave.  To drive, or not to drive.  I'm optimistic i could do it on 3.5 including piss-stop.

I have done Cricklade to leeds in 2.5 hours. You could get off the motorway in 3 hours easy but the traffic usually means that it takes 30mins to get from motorway to the ground

To state the bleedin' obvious it depends on traffic. I have done Ciren to York a fair few times from anywhere between 3.5 hours and 6 hours (Christmas eve)  - using the A429 fosse way up to the M1 via the M something or other.

York is a bit further than 'uddersfield too.

I've done Leeds to Swindon (exactly 200 miiles door to door) in 3 hours.

Average 70 and you can do Huddersfield in about 3 hours also.
Shouldn't be hard.

4 hours for grannies (average 50 mph)

Swindon: A419 - M5 - M42/A42 - M1
Oxford way: out to M1 then straight up

I did Swindon to Hull after the Brighton 1st leg in less that 4 hours, so you guys should be able to do it in 3 hours for sure, traffic permitting of course.

Takes us about two from round our way.

I have an interesting story about me and people form Yorkshire.

Well it's not that interesting.

Anyway, about two weeks ago I was out in Marlborough in a chippy and there were these blokes from Sheffield and somewhere alse in Yorkshire there. As I can do accents I was talking to them in a Yorkshire accent. I told them I was a Rotherham fan and I made up a load of shite about Rotherham's plight and they were well interested. It was 3 o'clock and I think I'd had too much to drink.

I also talked about Sheffield Utd.

As I said, not that interesting.

I think it was a Saturday.

Me and Ash had a 'warm northern welcome' when we arrived. We could see the stadium so turned down the nearest side street heading in it's direction. Turned out to be a dead end, run down, terraced housing estate with lots of kids stood around looking at us and my car's alloy wheels  :shock:  :D

I promptly turned around and got out quick!!
