It's an epic fecking journey by any mode of transport! Not so bad now with the Lincoln and Newark by passes. Havind said that I haven't been back for years - the nearest I go now is Lincoln to see my brother.
Back in the day - before the Newark by pass, on our way to either Nottingham, Derby or Leics we had a regular habit of stopping at the Newark Little Chef for a last eat and brew of the weekend before necking our gear - anywhere between 10 and 11 pm.
