Leeds to Nottingham - interesting routes??

[v15ben]

I have to collect the car in a couple of weeks to bring it down to uni, but I can't face the boredom induceing stupor of the M1 on a Sunday afternoon!

Can anyone suggest an roads that I should try and include? I am thinking of going the Derbyshire route through the Peak district, good idea or not, what do you think?

Any suggestions welcomed, can't wait to get back in the car again!

Thanks for those ideas, sounds like a very good idea. I can overtake given the chance, but the car is a bit gutless sometimes!
