Hi. Any advice on best route?

Looking to travel from M1 at Leeds to Donington Park. Will be in a Cayman S with M3 in tow so ideally want to take in a nice drive rather than just shlep down the M1. Will be travelling on a Friday late afternoon and ideally want a "spirited" drive on quick flowing roads. The more scenic the better and the odd narrower slower section is ok but generally want true driving roads.. That said we also want to avoid sections with loads of fixed cameras. Not planning to drive like an idiot or be at warp speed all the time but want to enjoy it without constantly being on edge..

Looks like exiting near Sheffield and then cutting down through the Peak District is a good option.

Which route would you take?

Cheers,

Ed

Mortimer road is absolutely incredible, without doubt the best driving road in the peak district.
