Centenary Bookings

[Malcolm Parker]

Malcolm, When travelling down to Morton in the Marsh from Yorkshire you could join the Fosse Way (A46) at Newark on Trent although this is a relatively new dual carriageway way all the way to and around Leicester being a new road the hill gradients are longer but less steep allowing a better average speed. You also have the bonus of not slowing anyone else down as the can pass I being a dual carriage way. As an alternative you could use the old road that’s still there.

Thanks for that, John.   Leicester isn't a city I know at all.  I imagine it is very like Bradford, which I try to avoid!
Compared to my native North Yorkshire I don't think there will be any gradients to worry me.   I looked at an alternative route through Derbyshire and Staffordshire but that looked quite arduous.
