Both decent places, but from experience i think you might struggle to get a space in junc 29 at 7 or 8 o’'clock.
You might want to check out traffic reports.M1 has been closed in one or both directions regularly recently between jcts.36 and 39 overnight.
jct 31.secure parking
Shawfield road.
No facilities though.
Lidgate crescent on the langthwaite business park,South Kirkby…would be my choice.

Pronounced, “Dodorth.” Same as “Cudorth.” (Cudworth.)

Could have veered off a bit and gone to the Redbeck on the A638 (Which is 24 hour.) to the east of Wakefield. Just make sure you are under 14 foot.

I shall bear all of these in mind for the future. The trouble is a lot of my nights out happen on the spur of the moment, the best laid plans and all that!

Is the poster a certain dozy, moaning about Friday nights out,and missing the steak dinner, and dipper Dave’s been round. 
Oh I do try and plan, It matters not a jot if I’m home or not, its part of the job and always has been. I have enough food, drink, water, wash gear to survive for a good while. What screws me is trying to find half decent places to plot up now, a lot of the old places have fast disappeared.
Cheers for the help chaps!
