tunnel run .
 

i dont care what you have done ....LOL:lol: . put your name down .. remember its gonna be dark so no one will reconise you with over 70 + :D cars . and its next month so people will forget what you have done... ...:thumb: ... waz

Just had a quick look at the posts you are referring to. I doubt very much if any of them are coming so you should be fine, in fact if they did you could arrange the exchange there and then. Can't say fairer than that!

Essex

ESC = Essex Scooby Crew

tunnel run
 

im from northampton ... but there are some coming from birmingham that are meeting me at M1 j15a ... they dont know that yet ....LOL:lol: .
Please see the thread in the ESC section and put your names down ... before you upset MILAMBER.

:luvlove:

ive put my name down as my mate has aswell, we r both from the northampton area :notworthy

so if anyone wants to meet up with us then let us know :thumb:

this will be the first scooby event ive been to as i should be pickin a scooby up this week so im lookin forward to it :D

TUNNEL RUN
 

hopefully the plan is to meet at M1 J15a at about 6.30 leaving at about 7pm . then on to south mimms and meet up with the bucks lot .. :luxhello: . i will be contacting the birmingham lot nearer the tunnel run date . see you all soon . PS .. you cannot miss my car ...WAZ:D

wanna meet at sixfields wazo ? on that date

It's quite an event for your first one :eek:

The thing to remember is, at least for the first part of the evening, we drive real slow. Usually about 45-50mph in a 70. We drive in a reasonably close formation Nascar stylee........ drop it into 2nd and boot it through the tunnels along the way but watch out for the car in front slowing down to 50mph again:eek: .

You get used to it pretty quick so don't worry, the thing to watchout for is changing lanes, ALWAYS indicate. Don't get too caught up about sticking with your mate it's inevitable that you'll get broken up at some point :D

We regroup at Mcdonalds half way through and have a chat about the night so far, it's impressive to se thecar park jamed full of scoobies. Bring a camera and a video camera if you can :D

Any questions? The only stupid question is the one you didn't ask as they say...

meet at sixfields
 

i can meet at sixfields .. hopefully i will get in contact with the birmingham lot and they can meet there as well ...i went to the last one and it was a great night . apart from getting lost in london after following some bloke that did not know where he was going ...LOL . .but now i have TOMTOM :luxhello: . see ya soon WAZ

Wazo, there are a few coming from Wales now too :notworthy :notworthy
I have suggested they may want to meet up with you lot at South Mimms. Hope thats ok with you....:thumb:

B4D HK has pm'ed me to say he is definitely coming with his brother. He wants me to put his mobile number up so that you can contact him to arrange a meet :thumb:

• Meet at Thurrock Services Main Car Park @ 9 p.m. (Junction 30 - M25).
• Leave services @ 9.30 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. I suggest the leaders do about 40 in the 70 zone just to let the stragglers at the tunnel catch up.
• 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.


After a few miles you will pass a BP petrol station on your left. You will shortly after have to follow the signs for “Central London/Blackwall Tunnel.

• Stay in the left hand lane on A13 approaching the Canning town flyover, once over the flyover continue STRAIGHT AHEAD towards Blackwall Tunnel. You pull up at some lights with the Financial Times building on your left. You need to be in the left hand lane at this point as we will be turning left at the next lights to join the Blackwall Tunnel southbound. We will get queued up at this point, don’t worry.

Once through the tunnel take the first proper slip road (ignore the tiny left turns) and turn left at the roundabout down Millennium Way. Follow this all the way to the end and park up at the side of the road to regroup in front of the Millennium Dome….

We then head off after the regroup, back up Millennium Way to the roundabout and Take the 3rd exit (basically turn right!) Keep in the very right hand lane. It is a one way street at this point so keep to the very right.

Rejoin the A102 and go through the Northbound Blackwall tunnel. Watch out for the speed camera just before the entrance. Keep in the left hand lane and take the very first slip road as you exit.

This has some traffic lights, at this point keep in the very right hand 2 lanes and continue straight on. Do not take the left hand lanes. Continue along East India Dock Road. Keep your eyes open for the Rotherhithe Tunnel entrance…… we are not doing that this year but we take the next left down Butcher Row.

Keep in the RIGHT HAND LANE and continue along The Headway.





• 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.

At all time keep the river to the left of you. If it isn’t YOU ARE LOST.

• 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.
• 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. There is a large layby just after the petrol station. Pull in here to regroup again.


• 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. The leaders will pull over along this road and allow the backmarkers to re-group. The park will be shut at this time of night.


• Retrace your steps over the bridge and turn right. The lights will split us up so the leaders will stop again to allow everyone to catch up. We can then head into Parliament square in convoy.

Follow your steps back along Millbank, into Parliament Square and back along the Embankment. Keep the river on your right hand side.

The Limehouse link might be shut at this point. If it is then turn left up Butchers Row and turn right at the end. After a mile we then TURN RIGHT into West India Dock Road/Aspen Way. It will be signposted for Docklands/Excel.

• Continue 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 Road Angels updated ) You have been warned!
