Normal route is local roads out of Hucknall
BB386 - oxton - southwell
A612 Southwell - thurgaton
A6097 - Bingham
Local road through Bingham, past langar, langar airfield, harby.
Harby on to Waltham on the Wolds
Past the waltham transmitter [awesome sight close up] to garthorpe
B676 Garthorpe to Melton
B6047 melton to Market Harborough
 
I normally come back along the B664 through uppingham to oakham and then melton nottingham.
Its approx 140 miles but a cracking run
