I've just watched the DVD of Tunnel Run III and can see why so many of you got lost.

I cannot stress this enough..........TURN LEFT AT THE EXIT OF THE BLACKWALL TUNNEL. It is immediately at the exit.... if you do not follow this instruction you will get lost.

Right, I've spoken to the manager at McDonalds and warned him that there will be over 100 customers descending on him on Saturday night. i asked him if possible to keep the restaraunt open for us so we don't have to queue up at the drive through.

I also warned him that he might want to have some extra staff on duty that night. He said it would be helpful if we could try and order the same type of meal and that way he can just do a run of, say quarter pounders, etc. No special orders..... if you want your burger with no lettuce but extra gherkins then just take a sandwich

Please, please be patient with them, and be pleasant and curteous to the staff.
