Owing to work commitments I can't leave Honda until 1.30pm on Friday. The AA Routeplanner thingy reckons Chester is 155 miles from Swindon and about a 3 hour drive. On that basis it should be a piece of piss but I'm a bit worried about all the Friday traffic around M5/M6. Thoughts anyone?

Leave at 1:30pm and get straight on your way.
The key to this one folks is to get past the M5/M6 linkage before 4pm:
- Before 4pm it'll take about 20 minutes at 10mph to get through.
- Between 4pm and 6:30pm you're looking at an hour for to do about 2 miles.
Just leave yourself enough time.

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit...

That bit of M6 is an absolute bastard. Were leaving about 1. 1.30 should be enough time.
