I drive to LBA, 1 hour each way. No sweat if you're used to long-distance commuting (I actually find an hours drive each way rather therapeutic!!!!)
From which direction will you be driving to LBA - North or South?
Use the A1 and then the Tadcaster-Otley road if at all possible - most other routes are usually chocka especially the ones from the South of LBA through Leeds or Bradford.
