A1 = bad, IMO.

Was thinking of driving down a while ago buy for the length of the journey id be better off staying there a night and go to the park the next day.
Let me know how you get on though!

You'll only be on the M25 for 20miles, you'll be alright.

Might be worth considering A1 all the way down to the M25 as there are roadworks around M1 J13 which can be pretty slow!

M25 shouldn't be too bad unless there is an accident or something... Friday mornings tend not to be too bad in my experience.
