Well, it’s so long since I ventured that far up the M6, I can’t think where would be a good place to stop for brekkies :sunglasses:

Need to be in Liverpool for 10am (ish), but do want to miss most of the traffic if possible … leaving early sound the best option ■■

We are just over an hour from the end of the A14 / M6 junction, so what time would you pro’s think I should be at J1A to miss the worst.

Thinking about leaving around 5am to clear Birmingham before 7am, then maybe have an hour or so further up for something to eat before we hit the ratrace around the Manchester area … is there an alternative to the services ■■ :smiling_imp:

junction 22 on M6 the exit for IRLHAM–CADESHEAD ; COMEING FROM
Birmingham in EXIT turn right at the roundabout --go over the MOTORWAY straight across the next roundabout …straight down this road for about
1.0–1.5 miles past the garden center the cafe is on theleft with a big parking area,cafe is the large GREEN building breakfast is okay,

www.transportcafe.co.uk

there must be a secret code to using that site Pete :open_mouth: I tried it earlier & got no results other than ashfod, one cafe for sale & i think one somewhere else :unamused:

Wylie, Not a bad idea :slight_smile: It’s a long time since I have used Lymm, IIRC isn’t it off the M56 junction of the M6. Parking shouldn’t be a problem, only going in the car :laughing:

when you go on to the site ,try looking at the lefthand side and click on
either the spot for cafes near the motorway or the one below for the cafes on A&B roads, let us know if you have any problems,

Just done it & had the brains to scroll down :smiley: :smiley:
Why do I have to be so dense sometimes !

SMART ALEC

Not me chief, i’m just a law abiding citizen (well, I play by my rules if that counts) :laughing:

I must say, I never speed through roadworks, 30 limits or near schools etc. Open road & yes I will push on a bit, but that’s another debate issue on here :unamused:

it might be a bit too close to birmingham but you could always try standeford truck stop on the a449 i think. just come off the m6 at jct 10a, m54 jct 2, north on the a449, over a couple of roundabouts and it comes up on your left hand side not long before the roundabout fleading to jct 12 on the m6.

i know it sounds out of the way but its only a couple of minutes really and the breakfast is usually spot on.

Thanks Angela, one I have never been to !

At least it’s the right side of Birmingham, as long as I clear the rush there, I can wander up to Liverpool in my own time.

In theory - fine

In reality - it will then take me 2 hours to find a garage where 'er indoors can hoover the car out :laughing:
