... I'm bringing a navigator to read the map
• 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!

Everyone
Following the successful response I have had from the TRAX 2005 DVD that I filmed and edited (copies still available ), after speaking to Tiny I have decided to create a DVD of this years Tunnel run II.
Tiny or Spec C will be filming the event using Tiny's in car mounted camera.
And I'll be doing the editing (prob 10+hrs editing), burning (20 mins per copy), printing etc.
If anyone else happens to be filming the event and wants their footage included in my DVD then please PM me and we can sort out sending your DV tape to me and I can decide if any of it can be used (either way you'll get your tape back but if anyt of it is used I'll sort something out for you! depending on how successful it is).
As I can't control who will see the film as much as I'd like to keep them in, I have decided that I will edit out any flames that are captured (not that there would be any ! ) as I wouldn't want anyone getting a retrospective ticket! Might be an old wives tale but I seem to remember a japanese guy who filmed himself do a 120+mph lap of the M25 and got fined/banned!!!! That is unless you don't mind, send me your reg number and I'll keep it in
I'll put a new thread up after the event happens, where you can add your name to the list and I'll confirm details.
Speak soon.

To be honest 4 to 5 tapes will be ample for me to sift through and edit down to an hours footage. I suppose it depends on whether you think the footage you take is any good. If it is shaky and blurred or out of focus then probably not (Mini DV tapes only).
Once you've done the recording and viewed it, give me a PM and we can have a chat.
I do however want to put the DVD together pretty quickly and be able to put as many cars as I can on the film, so as soon as you get a chance contact me ASAP.
Hope you all have a wicked evening

Service due in 400 ish miles (I live 110 miles away - round trip) and I can't afford the Cambelt service at the moment!!
So basically if I don't do long jouneys I can keep driving it at weekends till I have saved the £600 ish needed! Probably 2+ months away!
I'm doing the DVD as I need to make a little extra money. All the other ones I have done seem to have gone down well, so Tiny generously offered to lend his camera/film this event so that I could put the DVD together!
Still photos ? I haven't got a clue mate
Maybe Baz?!?! Depends what you want doing with them!

Just the 6 maps then? Looks like I will have a few spare copies ready on the night then.
Remember to print off a copy of the route plan and bring it with you on the night together with loads of pound coins.
Not long now, anyone not got their name down yet?
