I have to travel for work to Manchester from London (where I live). After one day of work, I'll spend 5 days in Buxton in the Peak District with my DD (teen). Originally my DH, was coming with us for 3 of the days, from day one and return by train. But something happened with work and he has to come later on the day (by train). That means that I should go alone with my daughter by car. Now I started thinking about going by train and renting a car once there, to avoid the trip to Manchester alone and in an accident prone highway (or so they say, I've never gone to Manchester, I am not from here). At the same time, I find it super practical going by car and have all my things with me and have a week in the Peak District with my car (that I know and I am familiar with). What do you think? I would be grateful x any advice, including best moment of the day to travel (everybody says none 
)
