A11 then A14, the A11 will get quite slow and busy round near elvedon on the single carriageway bit but theres no real other way without going miles out of your way.

watch out for the police camera vans on the A11 in norfolk, i know LOADS of people who have been done up there (including me).

norwich
A11 towards cambridge
this then becomes the A14 towards wellingbourough
then choose between north or south

depending on how fast you want to go give it about 2 hours to get from one to the other

you can go south at thetford (before the A11 stops being dual) and join the A14 at Bury St Edmunds, but a saturday afternoon shouldn't be too through elvedon.

That's a long way round as the road to Bury is 95% single carriageway aswell....

Hope you get out before 5 as its a home game this weekend.

25,000+ coming out of the ground is usually interesting.

Where in Norwich you going to be?
