dependant on time though Chris, as if you go during home time you will not get a decent run through dartford going blackwall first.

yes . IMHO not worth the trouble at that time. Only one worth a blast will be the second link tunnel..

5pm ish dartford going south would be the less busy IMO and then when you come back through blackwall you should be going against the majority of the rush hour traffic so again a less congested run through.
