Great event, Ron - healthy turn out, and half the fun was had in following someone else who veered off route, and then trying to find someone who looked like they knew where they were going.
Have got plenty of pictures and a few tunnel clips, will have a go at posting them up later.

The leaving one is great, my others a bit meh tbh. Near 60 cars so a good turn out though I believe this is as much down to facebook as scoobynet. Small compared to previous years tunnel runs but a good start for the 1st summer tunnel run

Ok ... Sorry for the delayed response , But i have been a little busy of late trying to secure myself a new job within Ford.
I would like to thank everyone that turned up for this Summer Tunnel Run, You all made it a great evening, and i'm sure most of you had alot of fun too
It was a shame that they closed off the QEII bridge
with under half of us continuing down the A13 , and the other half following the diversion to get into the Darford Tunnel 
And it was also a shame that westferry was closed off to parking up as well
Looks like Mr Fitz won the day this time
But he won't be so lucky next time 
A big thanks to all of you that purchased a Tunnel Run vinyl
I would also like to say A BIG THANK YOU to all of those who helped out with the event also
Lorraine - For all the background work she does in contacting ppl / organisations
Rab555 - For poster and Vinyl sticker design Maybe you'll make Oct one mate 
Ed + DantheMan - for videoing the event I think i would have just liked to have seen a in-car CAM , with Dan trying to film + shoot the event whilst trying to navigate ED around
Essexdon - for filming Mainly the start of the event and some quality clips inbetween 
Knotty - for helping me out with Satnav bugs
And to Everyone else who filmed or took pics of the night and uploaded the content onto SN or FB 
OK Vinyl Sales ..........
Vinyls cost me £75 to get made , And vinyls sales were £76 , so i just broke even by a £1
I have 8 Large vinyls , and 37 small ones left over, I will keep these for the October Tunnel Run , Where they will go on sale with the 'Tunnel Run X' vinyls , and all money made from those left over vinyls will go to the supporting charity of Oct Tunnel Run
Soooo .... This leads me onto the 'Tunnel Run X' ! The 10 Year anniversary of the Essex Subaru Tunnel Run
New things will be done with the route
I have in mind .... Instead of having a driven 1 pass route , we will have a start point > A tunnel circuit > a re-group point
The tunnel routes are not going to change much, i'll just be looping 2 tunnel circuits , so a few of us at the front can loop round the circuit and pick up a few wayward and lost scoobies , So if you find yourself getting lost , you can drive yourself to some point on the circuit, park up, and wait for a load of scoobs to go blasting past you
So the order of the night will go something like this .....
1. Lakeside Meet
2. Dartford Drag stip , and then into London
3. Head to Tunnel circuit 1.
4. Loop round - gather up some lost scoobs
5. Re-group Mc'ds at woolwich
6. Head off to tunnel cuircuit 2
7. Loop round - gather up some lost scoobs
8. Head to re-group location 2 !
And NO!!!!! It's not westferry ! BUT it's good
Postcode to 2nd re-group location will be given out on the night
