Hi All.
I'm looking at possible routes to Carsington Water from Merseyside, towing a 7m Bailey caravan. Ordinarily I would expect to leave M6 at A500, then on to A52 to Ashbourne, before following the final approach instructions on the website. However, the instructions say not to use A52 due to steep incline.
From the west there doesn't appear to be another "sensible" route. I could go A50 south past Uttoxeter, before turning north again, or from north I could head over through Macclesfield and Leek. Both of these options mean large detours which don't appear to be necessary.
Has anyone got any experience of approaching this site from M6 (coming from north of Stoke on Trent)?
Any advice gratefully accepted.
