Hi guys and girls,

As per the title really, Im starting a new job in Hemel and travelling from Watford. Driving, and trying to find the least painful morning route.

Will be going from WD17 to HP1, so central Watford to central Hemel.

Google maps reckons either M1 or A41 (plus some backroads). A paltry 17/ 19 minutes either way on a Sunday evening, presumably significantly longer on a weekday morning.

What are you guys thoughts on this, and feel free to guesstimate the average journey time leaving shortly after 8 o'clock if your a grizzled, embittered commuter with many years experience!

Regards,

David
