Have you picked a route?
Not that many indirect country lane routes, fastest being A46, A52, A453 then A6.
But if you prefer back lanes the A612 from Newark through Southwell and rejoining the A46 after Gunthorpe is a nice road and then stay on the A46 and cut across country through Widmerpool, Costock and Zouch to Hathern.
If you fancy meeting on route we could meet at Sopers BMW, it's only a 100 yes off the A46 on your route.
Cheers
