If you're going M60 -> M56 -> M6 there are lane restrictions going from the M56 onto the M6 but I can't quite remember which way, I get confused on the M60 . Have a check though. Where abouts from Manchester are you coming from? I have been toying with the idea of going

It will take you about 45 mins from Droylsden on Sunday Morning.

I traveled to Penkridge last saturday from Glossop and in total it was 1 hr 15mins. I'd aim to leave at 7am.

If you don't want to travel down quite as early as that, A couple of us are meeting up at the Sandbach services between Jct 16 and 17 at 08:15, to depart the services at 08:45.

Sandback would only take at the most 25 to 30 mins. we aim to be at the show for about 10ish.

But I'm not sure that this is early enough for the GP section.

PS. Are you the GP I've seen a couple of times in Glossop? I'm the 53 Chili Red JCW.

No scheduled lane closures for the M6 on Sunday down to Crewe A500 Junction, south of that it's outside my area,
