Help.....Roads to get through Essex/Cambs to Skegness
Discussion
Planning a road trip. Th estart will be the Dartford Tunnel and we're aiming for the first overnighter at Skegness. We have no interest in the motorways and ideally no dual carriageways - unless a short distance.....we're keen to find smaller twisty/interesting roads ( all '7' drivers )....
so calling on you guys to see if you have any ideas of roads to avoid ( slow , multiple cameras etc ) and of course the ones that we should def factor in to the route.
Originally i'd thought of getting to Kings Lynn for lunch stop and then on again, but right now its pretty much a blank canvas so any suggestions welcomed.
doesnt have to be a route - just a few roads here there to link in.......
appreciate your help + suggestions

If you want part ideas and intend a trip to Kings Lynn anyway, even "7" drivers will have fun driving along the Sixteen Foot Drain on the B1098 towards Nordelph, then A1122 to Downham Market and A10 to Kings Lynn. Umpteen miles of straight and narrow, don't twitch or you'll get yer feet wet. Beware of undulatory surfaces...
Of all the routes I could take when I do track days at Marham this tickles that spot just between my shoulder blades in my Midget.
Come off the A141 at Chatteris and head for the flats (no hills to head for)

Looks like a possible route
All Ive done is have a drag around of the Google Maps route
