Depends what time you set off, the earlier the better will make all the difference.

After you get along the A17 most of the journey is single carriageway so I just relax into the journey and go with the flow. Worth the journey though, lovely part of the country.

Lovely area. We usually take about 4.5 hrs, including at least one stop.

Do NOT do this journey on a Friday. It once took us ten hours. Longest ten hours of my life as my daughter cried the whole time and my son threw up twice. Fantastic.

In Norfolk it does not make any difference what time of day or time of year you always seem to be stuck behind that yellow flashing light of a combine or a huge tractor.
Worth the wait though.

Agreed, much better journey & route.

Went last week to Hunstanton, journey there via A1/A47 and came back via A17. Wished I came back via A1 - roads much better for towing
