Heading to haverford west in wales on Saturday about 0300 from nottingham

the way i see it i have two options

M1,M42,M5, M50 A40

or

M1,M5,M4 with tolls bridge A48(i think) A40

from AA route finder not much in time wise but need  to take into consideration amount of fuel used and suitable places to stop and rest. plus the amount of roundabouts which will be stop start on the fuel.Still class myself as a newbie so concerned about where i can rest on the way.

If I go second option i guess will be down M5 near M4 for 6/7 in morning and i know thats when the cornwall traffic starts.

Would welcome your views

I go to Cardiff a lot with the caravan from Harrogate, Yorkshire; takes me 5 hours. and get 33-35mpg depending on traffic. It will be a good run at that time in the morning.

A1M, M18 then onto M1 ,M42, M5, M50, A40 then A449 to M4 at junc 24 Newport, suggest you take that route then keep on M4 and pick up the A40 again at Carmarthen and miss out the A40 Brecon Beacons road.

Service areas on motorways then on the A40 and A449 plenty of good laybys for a rest.

Thank you all for your help Llanidavis i will take your adv ice.
