thanks for all this.
in a bit of a rush so M40-a43-m1 etc might sound the best.....

watch for the truevelo camera on the A43 near silverstone.
Depending on time of day/which roadworks are on then go either M1 round Leeds to the A1 or take the M18 across. I usually find the M18 slightly better,

What time of day you travelling?
M1 northbound through the midlands is usually fine on weekday mornings but can be rubbish around evening rush hour. Vice versa its often bad southbound in the morning but no problem in the evening.

m40 A43 M1 A1
The A43 can be very tiresome. There is normally a queue of HGVs at the roundabouts at each end - M40 and M1 connections, I mean - due, so I understand because the roundabouts at each end are laid out incorrectly. When you are on the A43 there are a LOT of roundabouts.
We ('er and me) drive to see family in Northampton and Nottingham, curiously the female drivers prefer the A43, the males prefer the M1. Make of that what you will!

must admit I often take the A5 from Towcester up to Weedon/Flore and J16 or on to Crick/DIRFT.
Southern end you can take the A34 Bicester and go up (Ayno or something?) I agree they stuffed up the M40/A43 junction.
