They are doin improvements (thats a joke) between j16 an j12, so try an get throu them before 7, if you get thru them it should be ok barrin any nutters havin a pile up, an if the tunnel is gettin a bit lively you should just miss it if it starts backin up if ya comin off at j7.
I did a full circuit from j28, to j12 down the m3 one junction an back then carried on round back to 28, started at 10 in the mornin, got back at 3 in the afternoon, roads a bastard lol

Sorry Northern boy!

I meant the services between Caterham (A22??) and the M26, it can take an age just to get through there.

seven till half nine is the worst of it, but that can easily drag on far later and sometimes starts sooner.


fucking nightmare

if your heading clockwise from M1 then rememerb theres the A10 brigde there building and that park gets fucked abd takes about 30 mins to get to A10,,,,, ive never gone past there though

alson if doing the M1 theres road works from luton to the M25 aswell to take into account,,,, both have specs cameras on em that work too

Should have stopped in at mine for a brew on the way back if you were venturing down south mate.

Could have laid a patio for me whilst you were here
