Hello Marge
I think you are well advised to take the motorways to Lymington - the
coastal route is really slow and the bit between Brighton and Bognor can
take forever! You could be really lucky with the motorway traffic - most
snarl ups on these motorways are caused by accidents so of course you cannot
anticipate those. However you will be driving on the infamous M25 which is
known as the UK's biggest car park because of its legendary jams.You really
cannot tell what it'll be like - we drove from Somerset in the southwest to
Folkestone for the channel Tunnel via A303/M3/M25/M20 in three and a half
hours - but that was leaving home at 4,30am! Obviously 8am-9am is rush hour
but you should miss the London commuter traffic. I'll check road reports
over the next couple of weeks and get a sense of what these roads are like
and I'll let you know
all the best
