BAE systems

[eek]

I've got a 206 mile drive to London. Coming down, I can do it in less than 3.5 hours, setting off before 4am and arriving just after 7am.

Setting off on a Friday at 2pm, I'm "happy" to get home by 7-7:30 and that's with me knowing the back routes of Cheshire that I can use to get up to the M62/M60. You'd then have another x hours to go to get up to Barrow.

Friday southbound on the M6 looks carp too - Flight to MCR then train to Barrow looks safest. That said, it's annoying that the only London to Manchester flights are from Heathrow.

You would be quicker going by train all the way...

what's the setup like in Barrow for digs? Is it all B&Bs?

If you are staying for more than 5 nights in a B&B it would be cheaper to buy a house
