Not sure which way im going to go, its a short drive for me as im only just outside northampton, but the A45 is going to be absolutely chocker so i dont see any point in waiting in it for ages to go past it and then wait in it again.

SO

I think my plan is go Daventry to Banbury A361 and get on the M40 @ J11 then nip down quickly to the meeting point at J10

I am correct in saying it is j10 M40 services we're meeting at yes?
