Anyone driven from Sheff to Pontefract....its about 24 miles, just wondering which is the best route as there seem to be quite a few options....is the A61 out via BArnsley the best route?

The quickest is to go up the A61, over the M1 and down to Worsborough. Turn right after you go past the country park entrance. Follow your nose... next stop Ponte Carlo.
