ESC TUNNEL RUN VII 2010
The seventh annual ESC Tunnel is due, and shall be taking place on 13th November this year.
Please note, the date is the 13th November.
This is the official thread.
For those who know the event, im am sure you will appreciate how magical the evening is, for those who are new to it, it is one of the biggest events of the year and last year we had Scooby owners from all over the UK attend.
Last year we had over 200 cars and thanks to Milamber's organisation, the event was a success.
We will be collecting for a charity again (British Heart Foundation) and aim to raise as much as possible.
The route will include the Dartford tunnel, Limehouse link and Blackwall tunnel. A quick stop at McDonalds and then back again.
Once the route is live, print it, as you may get lost, and a printed route will help prevent this.
