Travelling from belper in Derbyshire to a place 12 miles south east of Chester. Don't fancy going through Stoke or anywhere near the m6. Any thoughts?
Train?
A52/a51???
You need to face up to the fact that you're either going through Stoke, or you're going massively out of your way.
Just go stoke & M6 and stop poncing about 8)
There are no end of beautiful routes you could take through the Peak District that - as the crow flies - are probably shorter than going through Stoke. Look on a map and take your pick.

Nonsense.
There's only one way to settle this - RACE!
Can't remember the road numbers, but Belper -> Ashbourne -> Leek -> Congleton -> wherever you need to be.
Not necessarily quick but bloody lovely.
Just looked, it's actually winsford I'm going to which is east of Chester. So its Ashbourne leek congleton I reckon. Beautiful Peak District here we come, for a bit anyway.
leek
I'll get the kettle on

you'll never make it through alive, you'll be burned in a wicker man for driving a horseless carriage powered by devils, by the 6 fingered, web footed inbred freaks in the hills.
Ashbourne -> Leek -> Congleton
Sounds like what I used to do when I lived near Chester and my Gran was in Ashbourne.
So you're not actually going anywhere vaguely near Chester then? :p
^I'll have you know Leek is getting quite the cosmopolitan place. We even have a Premier Inn now! We only let the in-breds out on a Friday and Saturday night
