Recommendations for for fun roads to drive in Lincolnshire?
Im due to stay in the Stamford area next couple of weeks - any decent routes in Lincolnshire that include rural twisty B roads and wide open A roads that local z4 pilots can recommend? Any suggestions much appreciated.

What are you looking for? Iβll do some routes for you
Pubs?

If you go to Little Bytham you can claim you've been where Mallard set the world speed record for a steam train

Here you go buddy
Route 1- start in Colsterworth and take the A676 towards Melton. Very twisty back road with some amazing corners and dips/rises. Watch I think that towards Melton there may be average speed cameras now. When you get to Melton, take the A617 toward Grantham, quicker busier road but well worth a drive. Route 2- leaving Bourne head towards Witham on the Hill- the Six Bells there does the best pizza in the area. On towards Little Bytham, the railway arch there is cracking. Then follow the road via Stretton, Greetham towards Rutland Water. Drive the circular route and take time to stop at the Horse and Jockey at Manton... highly commended! Route 3, and in my opinion the best road- start Bourne and head towards Colsterworth on the A151. Corby Glen if you fancy a pint, the Woodman is excellent. Up the hill then turn towards Bitchfield on the B1176- what a lovely road. You can stop at Burton Le Coggles for a meat at the Chomondley Arms OR head on towards Grantham. As you near Grantham toward Old Somerby I would turn towards Ropsley and go see Phil at the Green Man- we STILL travel 30 miles to eat at this pub, tell him Stuart from Center Parcs sent you!!! There are some great places to go- however if you GO EAST, its flat and straight with dykes at the side of the road.... not my idea of fun.
Enjoy!!!!
Stuart

Well I wouldn't want to be driving under that then!
Probably a bit further over for you, but I did the run from Lincoln to Skegness a couple of years back in the Zed. That was fun.
When we got there Vall asked what I wanted to do next. "Drive back to Lincoln"
And to be honest, now I've seen Skegness, that would have been the best option anyway.
