Ok, after some discussions, here is the final route for the 29th February.
  • Meet at Thurrock Services Main Car Park (Junction 30 - M25).
  • Leave services and join M25 towards Dartford Crossing.
  • Through tolls and continue M25 to junction *1b* Princes Road Interchange.
  • Leave via slip road, circumnavigate roundabout and re-join M25(A282) back towards crossing.
  • Through tolls again and through Dartford tunnel.
  • Exit M25(A282) at junction *30* (2nd exit after tunnel) and join A13 – London bound.
  • Continue A13 – The leaders will need to keep the pace down a bit here to allow everyone to catch-up due to traffic lights at M25/A13 junction.
  • Watch out for 30mph speed cameras around Beckton.
  • Stay in right-hand lane on Canning town flyover.
  • Enter new tunnel towards Isle-of-Dogs.
  • Continue over flyover and into Limehouse link (Watch out for 30mph cameras x 3 in tunnel).
  • Stay in right-hand lane towards end of tunnel.
  • Turn right at traffic lights.
  • Continue under bridge and turn right at next lights.
  • Stay in right-hand lane to next lights, turn right and continue through Rotherhithe tunnel. (Watch out for 20mph camera at entrance to tunnel).
  • Circumnavigate roundabout at the end of tunnel and straight back through Rotherhithe tunnel. (Watch out for 20mph camera at entrance to tunnel again).
  • On exit of Rotherhithe tunnel, take first left (before lights).
  • Follow to end (under bridge), turn left and left again at lights and back through Limehouse link. (Watch out for 30mph cameras x 3 in tunnel again).

    Due to the traffic lights around this area, the group might get split up a bit, so it may be an idea to re-group somewhere convenient before continuing so look out for the leaders stopping.
  • Continue over flyover (exit at this flyover if McDonalds stop is required), stay in left hand lane to roundabout (NOT through tunnel!!!), take 2nd exit on roundabout towards A13.
  • Turn left at lights and re-join A13 London bound, stay in left-hand lane and filter off to the left and through Blackwall tunnel.
  • Continue A2, onto M25 and the 2nd blast through Dartford Tunnel.
  • Exit at junction 31 (first exit after tunnel) and re-group in Thurrock Services.

End of run!

It will then be decided who wants to continue for a run to Ace Café.

Remember the toll charge is £1 each way so make sure you have 3 x £1 coins to keep the flow fast through the tolls.

Caution....There are approximately 14 Speed cameras on this route with limits including 20mph, 30mph & 50mph! Keep your eyes peeled!!!

Just to add ... The cameras in the limehouse link tunnel (30mph) measure your average speed over the entire tunnel. Therefore if you rag it between the three cameras you will get done big time as your average speed will exceed 33mph.

Will need to keep to 30 for the entire tunnel.

Eder ... The comment I made is most def correct. There was a whole article on the tunnel and the camera system in a number of credible papers - most notably the Times and The Telegraph.

Ever noticed why there is a camera facing directly down about a metre after the one facing forward? This 'down facing' camera registers and computes the average speed. Very clever system - mate of mine was done by it on his bike.

That's how I understand it too... my Dad uses it everyday on the commute and he always, very painfully, trickles along at 30.

Still, I'm sure with a bunch of scoobs in 1st gear can make 30mph exciting
