It will take us a while to get through the Dartford Tunnels and then we have to travel quite a way along the A13.
It will be good to see you on the night.

I got some good footage coming through the Dartford tunnel on the way back from Goodwood FoS this year, and that sounded good enough on it's own, let alone another 50 or so scoobs at the same time!
We're meeting up at Mildenhall at 7pm, picking up Wazo on the way down, and hopefully should be with you guys by 8.30pm.
yet....
No-one should need a map I wouldn't have thought. Print off the route plan and follow the crowd (you'll be able to hear xkellyx for miles)
I will bring a limited amount of maps printed from the A-Z with me on the night but due to the fact that it is 5 sheets of A3 I wont be able to print off 70 or so. The route is fairly straight forward, the only difficult bit as I have said before is joining ASPEN WAY but provided you stay in the middle or outside lane you can't go wrong.
The bridge we turn left onto is the first brightly lit bridge after parliament square (that does not mean it is the first bridge though!)

what about if i get lost, can i have 1 just in case please??
• Meet at Thurrock Services Main Car Park @ 8.30 p.m. (Junction 30 - M25).
• Leave services @ 9.00 p.m. 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. Spread out a bit at the toll booths so we all get through in a reasonable time.
• 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. We suggest the leaders do about 50 in the 70 zone just to let the stragglers at the tunnel catch up.
Looks like new cameras are ready to be installed along this stretch of the A13...watch out!
• Watch out for new speed cameras on A13 around Beckton/A406 junction. In particular, immediately you descend the Movers Lane flyover there is a 40mph speed camera.
(40mph on main stretch, 30mph)
• Stay in middle or right-hand lane on A13 approaching the Canning town flyover, once over the flyover continue STRAIGHT AHEAD towards “ISLE OF DOGS”
• Enter tunnel towards Isle-of-Dogs.[ASPEN WAY] No cameras AT PRESENT in this short tunnel.
• Continue along ASPEN WAY following signs for The City.
• Continue along Aspen Way, into Limehouse link (Watch out for 30mph cameras x 3 in tunnel, rumoured to be Specs type units too!!!!).
• Stay in left-hand or middle lane towards end of tunnel.
• Go straight on at traffic lights. Leaders slow down along “The Highway” (A1203)
• As you approach Tower Bridge Keep in the left hand or middle lane but DO NOT turn left onto the bridge!
• Keep the Tower of London to your left and follow the road.
• The first bridge we pass under is London Bridge, make some noise but watch out for the Cameras along this stretch.
• Continue along Upper Thames Street and through the Blackfriars underpass
• Continue along Embankment (with the river to your left) under Waterloo Bridge
• Keep going until you come to a “T” junction at Big Ben, turn right and then keep in the left hand lane and turn left, keeping Parliament to your left. Be good at this point and don’t draw attention to us, these police have guns!
• Keep going along Millbank, straight over the Roundabout at Lambeth Bridge and keep going again past Vauxhall Bridge.
• The leaders should at this point be able to pull up along the side of the road, this are is mainly residential/offices and should not be busy with parked cars, re group if we can.
• We then go UNDER Grosvenor Bridge and TURN LEFT onto CHELSEA BRIDGE
• Keep going straight on until you get to the roundabout and double back on yourself, then just before the Bridge is the entrance for Battersea Park, turn left into it (if it’s open)
• If the park is not open (or when we have finished) retrace your steps over the bridge and turn right. Follow your steps back along Millbank, into Parliament Square and back along the Embankment. Eventually you will find yourself back in Limehouse link. (Don’t forget the Cameras!)
• Continue back along Aspen Way (with Canary Wharf on the right) and exit to the left before the flyover. Turn right (4th exit) off the roundabout under the flyover and into McDonalds for a pit stop On exiting McDonalds, take the 3rd exit on main roundabout and stay in left hand lane to another roundabout with an Esso garage (NOT through tunnel!!!), take 2nd exit on roundabout towards A13.
• The Hardcore might want to go back to the Dartford Tunnels again for another couple of runs, if not then it’s the End of the Run
• Be careful, drive safely and within speed limits. No-one wants their evening ruined by getting 3 points. Flame the tourists……
Remember the toll charge is £1 each way so make sure you have some £1 coins to keep the flow fast through the Tunnels
Caution....There are loads Speed cameras on this route with limits including 20mph, 30mph, 40mph & 50mph! Keep your eyes peeled!!! (and the Origin/Road Angels updated ) You have been warned!
