Cardiff to Edinburgh tomorrow - route through Wales?
Discussion
Have to drive a car from Cardiff to Edinburgh tomorrow - best route recommendations?
Main aim is not to get too tired...
is it better to go over to Birmingham and up motorway from there, or is up through Wales/along border (dunno which road - never really been in Wales much) a realistic alternative for a bit of variety and not having to do the entire thing on motorways... ?
Obviously i'll go Moffat to Edinburgh at the north end..

Cause i wanted to know from people who know the roads/area whether the option to go up through wales, which is slightly longer but not motorway, is any good or not. 
Personally i find all motorway more tiring than a bit of a mix/variety of roads, which is why i am interested in that option.
Google just says motorway all the way. Buts its under an hour difference.

My direct route would be M4 to Newport, A449/A40 to Ross on Wye then pick up the M50 to the M5 and North from there. From Newport to Ross is a pleasant enough dual carriageway drive, and the M50 is prob the quietest motorway in the country;)
This is the way I went in the end, then m6. It was a bit boring but passed quickly enough… 9 hours including a decent number of longer stops.Quite rainy until Manchester which was a bit tricky with the tyres/car but got through it ok.
Obviously as people (and me) mentioned, A701 from Moffat to Edinburgh at North end of journey. The best bit
Thanks all.
