Edited the title as it looks like this is going ahead.  Benfleet to Matlock is largely on the M1.  Last time I travelled on the M1 it was a nightmare, but that was my fault for going on a Friday.

Are there any better times - Saturdays?  Mid week?

I live near J15. Saturdays are absolutely fine in the main. There are smart motorway works between J13 MK south and J16 Northampton North/Daventry with lots of average speed cameras.

Did the trip today.  Not a single hold up on the way there - Set the cruise control at 65 and relaxed.  179 miles, according to my car, driving time 3hrs 27mins.    Plus wee breaks, of course.  Parking spot behind the shop, next to a a park (with toilets...).  Journey home not also good apart from a detour I made to pick up something else in Ware which was stop start from M1 across to A10.  But I am still smiling about the bass.... TOTALLY worth the trip.

NBD thread will appear soon-ish.
