best route to go...

i am heading to rustington,littlehampton tomorrow,will be leaving from derby,would the best way be down the M1 then on to the M25 then off at jnc 9 on to the A24/A280 or does anyone know a quicker way,will be leaving about half three in the morning and even though i wish it was a truck i was going down in unfortunatley its a brand new car that i’m delivering… :unamused:

I would go A3, then A27 but that would be in an artic. The less time I spend on the M25 the happier I am lol
