...rather fired off by the M25 discussion.
Whilst motorways are (often) fine for getting you somewhere in a hurry, I much prefer to avoid them when/if I can do a given journey on lesser roads without undue delay.
I'm sure my attitude to this has hardened somewhat since I stopped driving for work reasons, but even before this, I would essay to avoid all-motorway routes for long journeys, giving a bit of variety in my travels.
As a result of this, I still have a number of routes where I would normally avoid potentially the fastest motorway or trunk routes to have a little more "enjoyment" in my travels.
Some of them seem to make very little difference in the overall travel time, and at the same time put a little relaxation into the day.
Do others do the same, and where?
