Can anyone suggest a route that may be less hair raising than the A10, or is that a option as it looks to be single carraigeway?

No idea how to get anywhere from Surbiton but ...
From Ware take A1170 then B1368 and pick up A10 for last few miles at Hauxton.

Another variant - from Hoddesden go through Stanstead Abbots and Much Hadham to Clavering, where you pick up sustrans route 11 to Ickleton, Duxford and Cambridge. A little bit less direct than the B1368 but a very nice route.

Thanx for both your suggestions. Indeed after the A10 junction with the London Orbital(not too scary) and the A10 carriageway to Hoddesdon(more scary) the Stanstead Abbots and Much Hadham bit was great. Then on to North Norfolk via Saffron Walden and Newmarket. A nice jaunt through the night with moonlight and tailwind, not to mention several decent pubs.
Although next time more planning will occur and less luggage to haul, all as Greater Anglia railways are proper expensive without pre-booking.
