We live right by J6 of the M42, so would be counter productive going that way first. Which way will you be heading?
True! M42 then M6
Fancy meeting at the petrol station at J6 M42 on A45 heading towards the M42 junction? You would need to get off at J6, take the Airport turning, but dont follow it left, go right, round the roundabout then back down the slip road to the service station.
