This is a public service announcement for anyone thinking of travelling to RRG from "Up North".
Avoid M62 & M6 (congestion, then roadworks from Stafford/Stoke to Birmingham, lanes closed) - yesterday I managed a trip average of 42mph over 200+ miles in a modern mile-muncher
I'd advise A1 - M18 - M1
My return trip today was mainly cruising at a happy 65mph on clear roads in a proper Retro workhorse, with a couple of short stretches of 50mph roadworks 
Compared to previous years it's very noticable that the closed lanes & roadworks on the A1 have been completed and it's now 3 lanes for a lot more of the route
Have fun, I'll see y'all at the campsite
