Answer: A69

This is a lovely drive, especially where the road follows Hadrian's wall.

3. I am on my way to Cambridge from Derbyshire along the A14. After passing Kettering and Wellingborough, I come to a roundabout where another major road crosses my route. What is the road?

Answer: A1

Known as the Spittal's interchange, this location is mainly notable for its traffic jams!

It is normally a relief to leave the M62 at this point to escape the traffic jam.
