Best route to take upto Liverpool

[Arriba]

Probably the worst place and routes to travel on a friday. Whatever way is taken will have congestion- problems.
Pick the shortest-quickest route and hope for the best. A34-M40-M42-M6
If that is fucked then you could go across the A40 towards the M5 from Poxford then up that way. Likewise going up the M1 then across via the A50 or further up if needbe is an option.
Rather you than me.
