M60 Fear!
I'm ok on motorway when I know where I'm going but I've got to drive from blackpool to Gorton in Manchester which involves the M60. Which I hate! Any tips ?

Study the route before you travel, even writing down or memorising the exact junction numbers you need to change at. Keep an eye out for all signs as you go, especially upcoming warnings of junctions and correct lanes if it's your junction. If it's the driving then pootle along in the slow lane leaving plenty of space between you and whatsever in front. Is there something particularly awful about the M60?
Go to the AA website journey planner (see below) and enter your start and end points, then tick the "Avoid Motorway" box. This will give you a route without using the M60.

If someone is with you, do not Chater Chater Chater, make sure you have fuel, concentrate on what you are doing, It's a Clear run from Blackpool, M55>>M6>>M61>>M62>>M602, Depending when / what time you are going, from Bolton ( M61) Gets very busy joining the M62, keep in the Near side lane ( Left Lane) until you reach the M602, when you have reached the M602, It's a clear run.
To add, could not remember where Gorton was, so, M55>>M6>>M61>>M62 East heading for Leeds, come off on the M60 & Head for the signs for the Airport, you will pick up the sign for Gorton, this route is far easier, less hold ups, Mancunian Way ( A57) has hold ups as there was a "Sink Hole" there 2 weeks ago, If you have a map, or Google it Cris. when on the M62, keep in the near side lane, this way you can not miss your Junction.
