Some stretches have a variable speed limit covered by cameras and they are very efficient at keeping the traffic flowing. From you start point in Huddersfield, going to Goudhurst via Newbury on A and B roads makes no sense at all quite honestly, it would be far easier to use the M25, but bear in mind that might involve the Dartford crossing and the associated toll.
I suppose if you have all day to spare you could go on the North Circular and then go through Blackwall Tunnel. What day of the week will you travel? I have no idea how long it will take to drive from the Field of Hudders to the M25, but hitting it around am during the week shouldn't be a problem.
To go via Newbury is, frankly, lunacy. Goudhurst is lovely: my Great-Grandmother was born there in blimey, I must be old! It would be madness, BUT: from Newbury you could drop down to Winchester then pick up the A across through a very pretty part of Sussex towards Kent.
I love the road too. When we start out DH gets in the driver's seat at home, at some point we swap, then swap back before arriving at our destination. He doesn't like neighbours or people where we stay to see him in the passenger seat.! Beautiful scenery most of the way see a decent side of Essex.

A good idea would be pre-plan your diversions at known pinch-points, or get a passenger to search. Transport for London has a system to help drivers when crossings over or under the Thames are closed.
Look out for black crosses — they will lead you to the nearest alternative crossing. Sat-nav devices do not have the expert knowledge possessed by those who plan out the emergency routes. Local planners build them around obstacles — such as congestion pinch-points, low-bridges and dangerous road — that sat-nav devices might not be able to take into account.

Yesterday, Insulate Britain activists were effectively banned from all major roads in England yesterday following a major High Court ruling. Judges approved the application of an injunction against protesting on 4, miles of motorways and major A-roads, also known as the Strategic Road Network. Anyone breaking it faces unlimited fines or jail for contempt of court. It had originally been thought that the application, made by the country's roads agency National Highways, would not be granted as it is so wide-ranging and unprecedented.
It came as Insulate Britain brought central London to a standstill once again yesterday, blocking hundreds of motorists - including one driving his father to hospital for cancer treatment. Transport Secretary Grant Shapps confirmed the expanded injunction had been granted last night. The original injunctions only applied to the M25, feeder roads onto the M25 and the Port of Dover.
Members of the Extinction Rebellion offshoot have repeatedly blocked major roads, including the M25 and the M4, since September Transport for London also has an injunction effectively banning protests. Last week it emerged nine activists will become the first to be taken to court for allegedly breaking the original National Highways injunction, with a hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice on November Following yesterday's protests the Metropolitan Police said 53 people were arrested after obstructing four busy streets across central and east London during the morning rush hour.
The blockades - the first since a temporary pause for ten days by the group - triggered fury from Londoners, with many being filmed trying to drag the eco-warriors off the carriageway. In one heated exchange, a man said he was trying to get his father to hospital for cancer treatment. Police officers remove a climate activist from the road near Southwark Bridge yesterday. He said: 'Do you know what it's like someone trying to get treatment for cancer and you're standing like this?

The group, which is affiliated to Extinction Rebellion , organised the protest ahead of the United Nations climate change summit in Glasgow which starts this Sunday.
Animal Rebellion, which was founded in July , said it would continue to take action until the Government 'defunds meat and subsidises a plant-based transition'.
Police, firefighters and paramedics were all at the scene, and the protesters — who were all wearing climbing equipment - then dropped a banner over the entrance.
The protests were the organisation's first since temporarily halting activities for 10 days from October Many of the activists superglued themselves to the road surface, with one even affixing his head to the tarmac. In a new tactic, they also handed out leaflets to drivers, in an apparent bid to discourage violence against them, after a woman rammed a protestor with her Range Rover earlier this month.
