Roads to Daventry!

[ollie854]

Ive got to go too daventry tommorrow as Im a ford apprentice and the college is there. Just wondering what the roads there are like??

[Marcellus]

Assuming you're coming from M1 or M6 then no problems.... it's only the narrow country roads where real caution needs to be had.

[ollie854]

Cheers.

I can either go M40 and get off at junction 11 and go country roads or A43 past silverstone and get on the M1 at Junction 15 and get off at 14.

It was pretty bad up there on Friday and they've had more snow since. Royal Oak way where you have to go is quite bad. If you can drive in snow you should be ok..

Icy, but little snow. Main roads fine, but watch the smaller roads.

I live in Daventry and with caution its fine. Further south is worse.

And I suggest you turn off M1 J16 not J14 unless you fancy a day shopping in MK

whereabouts? I sold it 18mths ago actually but still knocking around Northampton...I miss it!

Running a 530iA LPG and a Honda Integra Type R now, time to update my profile I think!!

I wouldn't come down the M40 as the snow is still bad this end between J12 and J10 of the M40.

The A361 is also pretty poor still from the M40 junction.

Better off the M1 end as they had less snow.

Must be a very similar car, off Eastern Way - near the golf course.

Did you make it today. I headed down to not catch a plane from Heathrow and we got stuck around Milton Keynes for aaaaages. M1 southbound was unpassable, so we turned around.

Bet you had some difficulty...

[Podie]

Drove to MK at 6am to get the train to London.... took it steady, but no real issues.

Was going to warwick on Saturday on the M40 and had to turn back due to the heavy snow and people spinning about on the motorway, not sure if they've manages to plough it much since then. They have forecast a lot of snow for tonight in that area

[Marcellus]

Just been down M40 from Jct10... outside lane still not there but no issues.
