oh and be warned there are TWO new speed cameras on the A13 one just out of the new underpass and one about a mile further on! you have been warned!
Also following this they have just(yesterday) put markings along the new stretch of the A13 so maybe new cameras going up along there but there must be 5/6 sets either way

Blimey this thread is moving fast!

Route to follow shortly!

Will have to do a dry run nearer the time to check the speed camera positions for those who don't have a detector.......they keep moving the damn things!

Exclamation

Preliminary route to get things going.
  • Meet at Thurrock Services Main Car Park @ 8.00 p.m. (Junction 30 - M25).
  • Leave services @ 8.30 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.
  • 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.
Looks like new cameras are ready to be installed along this stretch of the A13...will get more reconnaissance nearer the time!
  • Watch out for new speed cameras on A13 around Beckton/A406 junction.
(40mph on main stretch, 30mph in roadworks!)
  • Stay in right-hand lane on A13 at Canning town flyover.
  • Enter tunnel towards Isle-of-Dogs. No cameras AT PRESENT in this short tunnel. Subject to change!
  • Continue along Aspen Way, over flyover and into Limehouse link (Watch out for 30mph cameras x 3 in tunnel, rumoured to be Specs type units too!!!!).
  • Stay in right-hand lane towards end of tunnel.
  • Turn right at traffic lights.
  • Continue under bridge and turn right at next lights.
  • Stay in right-hand lane to next lights, turn right and continue through Rotherhithe tunnel. (Watch out for 20mph camera at entrance to tunnel - I think this one has gone now, but watch out anyway!).
  • Circumnavigate roundabout at the end of tunnel and straight back through Rotherhithe tunnel. (Watch out for 20mph camera at entrance to tunnel again).
  • On exit of Rotherhithe tunnel, take first left (before lights).
  • Follow to end (under bridge), turn left and left again at lights and back through Limehouse link. (Watch out for 30mph cameras x 3 in tunnel again).

    Due to the traffic lights around this area, the group might get split up a bit, so it may be an idea to re-group somewhere convenient before continuing so look out for the leaders stopping.
  • Continue back 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 and regroup.
  • 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.
  • Turn left at lights and re-join A13 London bound, stay in left-hand lane and filter off to the left and through Blackwall tunnel.
  • Continue A2, onto M25 and the 2nd blast through Dartford Tunnel.
  • Exit at junction 31 (first exit after tunnel) and re-group in Thurrock Services.
End of run!

Remember the toll charge is £1 each way so make sure you have 3 x £1 coins to keep the flow fast through the tolls.

Caution....There are loads Speed cameras on this route with limits including 20mph, 30mph, 40mph & 50mph! Keep your eyes peeled!!! (and the Origin/Road Angels updated ) You have been warned!

Any interest?

Nice route BTW.

I was thinking the same thing.......plenty more tunnels to blast through too!

The only problem I can see is that we might get split up and people who don't know their way around could end up getting a bit lost.

What does everyone else think?

LOL

It won't take much to extend the route into the City.

Or we could save the route extension for a Christmas run through the city to check out the Christmas lights!
