South Mimms time and whatnot in that thread.

 

Ok ppl to date , the download information has been downloaded 27 times since going live

I thought it would have been a hell of alot more !!!

Are ppl just relying on the powers of mystic meg to guide them through the tunnel route ????

As i've heard many stories over the years of the tunnel run events , of loads of ppl getting lost along the route

KNOW THE ROUTE !!! Take a hour out of your day to study the route and know where your going !

Even thou i planned it , if it weren't for my garmin , i certainly would have taken a few wrong turns it's very easily done

The Printed route is excellent , as it gives you much more detailed route information !!! Please print it off and give it to your navigator on the night !!!!!

The best way to keep on track with the route, so ppl don't start getting lost , is to have a Planned group leader ! From whatever area or from whatever club you are from , please organise yourselves into groups of 5 to 6 ppl and designate a LEAD car that the other scoobs can follow

The idea being, that having a GROUP LEAD car that will have the route loaded onto a sat nav, or a good navigator with the printed route, so they can lead a pack of about 5 or 6 scoobs, this is to account for traffic light disruption of the convoy !! But you'll always get atleast 5 or 6 scoobs through a set of traffic lights !

Be careful of the speed cameras in the limehouse link tunnel, at the start , middle and end of the tunnel ! I got flashed at 36Mph !!!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaah
Rotherhithe tunnel is average speed cameras 20Mph !!

Blackwall tunnel said 30mph on the LED signs , but ppl were bombing past me at 50Mph ! and i saw NO Average , or Flash cameras about !!!!

I hope you all enjoy the night

Not long now

 

Ron was it a double flash or single?

 

Well there's 2 cameras about 10 meters apart at the start , mid and end , they both flashed once , 1st one = 1 flash , 2nd one = 1 flash and that was going into the start of limehouse link tunnel from the A13, guessing i got busted

 

***** man! I know that normal cameras font get ya on a single flash.
Those ones are a strange set up thoe!

 

Last time I attended this it was full of chavs tailgating etc.

 

Anywhere my mate can park his car (for free) as meeting him there when hes hopping in my scoob?

 

There are a few places around lakeside that don't charge to park your car , you have the Odean cinema carpark , or the Tesco Car Park , I'm not sure if they have any time limit parking , well last time i went there they didn't , But maybe someone can correct me on that

I highlighted the McDonalds carpark too , but that might be time limited

 

I know a few places including Tescos lock sections of their car parks after ten as we tried doing a similar thing for the Banzai run earlier in the year.

 

Thanks for the effort you've put in organising this Ron

This will be my first tunnel run so please be gentle

 

Thanks fella

It will be my 1st tunnel run too

And i'm LEAD car

 

They do that to stop the there carpark becoming the local hang point for the boys in there little toys

It use to be big there a little while ago , now they've put up the barriers to stop all that going on !

Guessing it's still a 24 hour Tesco , and there should be some avaliable parking to put your car there for 3 - 4 hours

Otherwise Odean cinema is probably tour best bet

 

 

The reason nobody has downloaded it is because all new TomToms don't have this feature any more, you just simply cannot load itineraries since they added the new interface.

 

Thought it'd go straight onto my Tom Tom but hasn't worked

Its obviously worked for some people, wonder what i'm doing wrong?

 

From the previous run I have been on there are always people that will get lost but you soon spot other Subaru.

 

Do you have the itinerary icon on your tomtom mate , should be amongst all your other icons on the tomtom screen.

If you've not got the icon , then you don't have the itinerary function

If you updated your tomtom to Version 8 software , you might have lost the itinerary function in the update !!!!

 

Oops yes I updated it yesterday! I downloaded the itinery but it went straight to the computer rather than the Tom Tom so it is there, I just don't know how to transfer it to the sat nab. Haha not to worry, makes it even more adventurous

 

Its not working on mine either

nevermind ill just tie a rope to the back of your car andy. Save me some petrol too

 

what is the re-group postcode for route 2 i.e. Westferry circus re-group?

 

Westferry circus re-group postcode ....... E14 8RR

 

Garmin routes all done, top work Ron!

 

Sweet

Did you check the milages mate ????

See ya 2nite mate

 

No I didnt in the end, i'll be following the other cars if it comes to it

 

Can't find my bloody lead now to do the Garmin! Owell smart phone n common sence will hav to do!

 

Looks like everyone will be relying on the powers of mystic meg :l ol1:

 

Awww I've studied it n fingers crossed I know it quite well! Helps knowing the area well as well!

 

Or studying your excellent map links

This will be my 8th run so only need to learn the adjustments to the route.
