nothing wrong with A1 route.... see previous comments on Nope, I got from Stanstead to Newcastle north in just over 4 hours on a Friday pm. But if I was coming from Sheffield then I'd aim for M6... whatever round Manchester , M61 to Preston, up the M6, M74 and A702
Go orienteering in Lithuania......... best in the world:)

G,
as a route I have done often, I agree with Gross, if you are driving go up by the M6 then M76 and off at Abbington Services or all the way up to the M8. The A1 can be a tough haul on a Friday all the way up to Newcastle and it doesn't get much better after wards.

just back from wellingborough via A509-A14-M1-A1-M1-A697-A68-A720-A71
5hrs 19mins.
but yes, newcastle is pants after 1400 on a friday. get there before then, then you are set to make it to edinburgh in about 2 1/2hrs, if you go A697-A68
otherwise M6-M74-A702, although i think they are still doing roadworks on A702, so might be quicker going in and round Glasgow.
