Most people don't like the M25, the folk I work with are forever whinging about being stuck for hours whilst trying to get too London or from London or going round London. personally, I don't think it's to bad.
Monday saw me driving from York to Brighton and included half of the London orbital route. I didn't get stuck at all!. Tuesday saw me do the journey in reverse and still no problems. In all honesty it was a pretty good journey from start to finish. Pity it was such a long way in total (roughly 560 miles), but the meeting in Brighton was fairly hassle free and the Crown Plaza at Gatwick airport that I stayed for the night at, was lovely and modern inside (though very grubby on the outside). I have noticed with Crown Plaza hotels that they now all have a club lounge. Not sure if they have always had a club lounge or if this is a recent think. Either way it means I can feel very posh and important and go and sit in the privileged location and have free munchies and drinks before dinner. Kind of makes up for all those nights away, though if I stayed in Crown Plazas every time I am fairly sure I would end up rather fat!
Other highlights of the journey were the QE2 bridge (always makes me smile, I don't know why) and the Dartford tunnel. Other than that it was just a lot of roads past a lot of fields.
