I would take slight issue with Ruairidh in as much the stretch between Lincoln and Leicester, 52 miles or so, is a fast, dual carraigeway - motorway like. I agree though, south of Leicester the A46 is a lovely road. It used to be even more so before we lost the many elms bordering the road to Dutch Elm Disease.
That's a fair comment Chris but I can see, and would always use, a number of interesting routes to avoid the A46 that take in much of the original Fosse Way route - far nicer.
With two years to plan such a route, I am sure the adventure could be achieved without the need to travel on dual carriageways.
