Carlh

the bham and esc tunnel runs rock. esc, you can expect about 150-200 scoobs there, bang in the middle of london. I think its the best day of the year coz we'll be out pretty much all day, nice and relaxing til we get to london, then its mayhem and flat-four rumbling galore. You'll not regret it!

You won't be disappointed mate

I'm beyond gutted I can't make it this year, but my selfish Sister has decided to get married this day lol but anyway, it would have been my third year in a row attending and it's just a great day, evening, and early morning out! I always treated it like a bit of an adventure lmao.

Have fun this year guys, give em some revs in the tunnels (and a few peeps of the horn in the Limhouse Link tunnel ) for me will you

Hello guys,
Can you explain what is this event in short and whether I can attend it if someone is good enough to let me ride with him (in exchange for something - gas/food/what you like)?

Carlh

its almost a 24hour day out, starting early afternoon, getting home around 4am or 5am next day. Drive to london to meet up with various other clubs. Last year I think there were 157 scoobs in attendance.

I dont know if we're ending up at billingsgate market again like last year, but along the way, several tunnels (full of scoobs, you can imagine the noise!) great photo shoot opportunity. and a great laugh on the way home.

Most of us will be connected via CB Radio, helps (me) not get lost! lol

Its Loud. Its Proud. Its the ESC Tunnel Run!

Carlh

the "what you like" - Does that include 21 year old blonde 5luts ? lol

Id offer on this one too bud, but i'll be having the dogs with me in the car, plus coz the get back is early hours, i'm a good hour away from birmingham . Maybe someone a bit nearer to you might oblige.

@Carlh

Well mate, I have a deficit of those 21 yo blondies... you know... hehe

I see that it would be a more time/money consuming event so I would probably skip this one and wait until the meet-up at 30/10/11.
