Not bad 
I only live behind the services so that's great!! 
But the only problem is i think you might be better leaving Birch Services around 4pm. The reason being is that the M62 can be bad the closer you get to 5pm and the tea time traffic. Also the up near the M1 can be sometimes tricky?
Plus if there is a crash (which most nights there are
) we may be cutting it close?
May be if we meet at Birch at 3.30 and when you get to birch around 4, a quick toliet stop and straight off? With that 1hr we should get up past the Leeds turn off before the traffic gets too bad?
Only a suggestion
no harm ment, my girlfriend live up past Dewsbury and i know how bad things can get.

Just been on Google Earth and its 121 miles from my house to the Ferry Terminal at Hull, Google reckons about 2 hours 10 minutes to get there from mine, so if we leave by 5 at the latest Sticky, we should have no problem
