Alright folks,

Could someone suggest the best route from Glasgow to Manchester?

I actually live in Cumbernauld but you guys probably only know of it as the wee sign on the map between Glasgow and Edinburgh and the 1st/2nd?? worst town in Britain.

Just found out my mum has been rushed into hospital and i'm bloody stuck here in work. I'm going to attempt the drive down tommorrow on my day off and need to know the best route. If possable avoiding the A1 as thats covered in money grabbing cameras.

Cheers in advance
