If there's a crowd coming down from the Ace Cafe, the whole of London's gonna be a sea of scoobs.....

Right, looks like there are a few choices. Having the feds on our backs is the last thing we/they need.

Either,

A) Just go as far as Parliament Square and head back on ourselves to the McDonalds. This has an advantage in that the leaders will be heading back while the tail catch up. we can then do the Dartfor Tunnels again.

B) Keep going and aim for the cruise. We won't be able to park up BUT will show them what a proper car club can do, then head back to McDonalds, re group and then hit the dartford tunnels again.

C) Turn right out of the limehouse link and do the Rotherhithe tunnel, head back to McDonalds to regroup and......head for Dartford again!

A quick show of hands for anyones preference? (Bear in mind that the further we go the more likely we are to get broken up so no complaints)

Don't forget your walkie-talkies...

Mate, im gonna need directions as i aint done much of london via roads, so if i could get an A3 copy of the route.

Ill be at the lodge this thursday if thats a good time to pick up a copy.

Cheers again

frayz

Milamber

iTrader: (2)

Shouldn't be a problem provided I get the route finally sorted. Despite the fact the group will get broken up you SHOULD still be within the vicinity of a scooby or two, look for the flames

With the amount of us going this year you would be hard pushed to be 20 feet away from the ESC no-matter where you are in London

Sold it, 2 weeks before a tunnel run

You are still more than welcome to pop along though, I'm sure your 330D could show some of us a clean pair of heels (until we got to the twisties )

Ok, after the dummy run on Monday night with Scooby-Greg we have removed the detour to the Queen and instead will continue along embankment to Chelsea Bridge which should still be open (it was on Monday).

We then re-trace our route and re-group at McDonalds in Aspen Way before hitting Dartford again.

I'll post the route up on the next page and then repeat it every page from now on so people know where it is.

The other change is to the Time, to ensure they don't close the park before we get there we have brought forward the time by 30 minutes. Meet at 8-30 and drive off at 9pm sharp.

Update your Road Angels, there are an unbelievable amount of cameras out there and we don't want anyones evening ruined.

Milamber

iTrader: (2)

• 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!

Good lad, you won't regret it. Do you know the route well enough?
Remember to print off your own copy and bring it with you on the night, together with enough pound coins for the Dartford Tunnels.

Luckily enough the McDonalds in Aspen Way has a cash point

This is just a list of names and not a running order so don't be concerned I've put you in at 26, just tidying up the list after people couldn't make it.
