Lincolnshire fun drive
Discussion
I am planning to organise a Spring Sunday fun drive around Lincolnshire, lasting 2-4 hours with a lunch break.
Lovely county, nice mix of roads, but I only moved recently to the Newark area and so far my main experiences have been driving the A15 north from Peterborough, the A133 from Newark to Gainsborough, and the A46/A158/A157 from Newark to Cadwell Park. No prizes for guessing why the latter route. I have also learnt that the middle of Lincoln is constipated with traffic at all times.
I have already discarded the idea of using Nottinghamshire roads as well - somebody, in his last will and testament, seems to have left the county council the entire output of the average speed camera factory for the last five years, with a job lot of 50 signs thrown in for luck. The consequent traffic queues on every road, behind somebody who feels that 50 means 38, would take the "fun" out of "fun run".
I do not advocate speeding, don't run away with that idea, but it is nice to be able to run at 60 on minor roads and 70 on dual carriageways.
Please can I have your suggestions for some nice flowing (country) main and B roads for inclusion in my plans? Also warn me of any roads to avoid.
I will start another thread come the Spring to publicise the start/lunch/finish details and invite you to join in, so just road suggestions for now please
