Hi Ron _2000uk
Could u add me to the list on Scooby net , can't log in for some reason?
Should be good to see soo many scoobys :smile:
Cheers mate

No probs mate , added to the list :doubleup:

Ok ppl to date , the download information has been downloaded 27 times since going live !

I thought it would have been alot more !!!

Are ppl just relying on the powers of mystic meg to guide them through the tunnel route ???? :O

As i've heard many stories over the years of the tunnel run events , of loads of ppl getting lost along the route :(

KNOW THE ROUTE !!! Take a hour out of your day to study the route and know where your going !

Even thou i planned it , if it weren't for my garmin , i certainly would have taken a few wrong turns it's very easily done :O

The Printed route is excellent , as it gives you much more detailed route information !!! Please print it off and give it to your navigator on the night !!!!!

The best way to keep on track with the route, so ppl don't start getting lost , is to have a Planned group leader ! From whatever area or from whatever club you are from , please organise yourselves into groups of 5 to 6 ppl and designate a LEAD car that the other scoobs can follow :D

The idea being, that having a GROUP LEAD car that will have the route loaded onto a sat nav, or a good navigator with the printed route, so they can lead a pack of about 5 or 6 scoobs, this is to account for traffic light disruption of the convoy !! But you'll always get atleast 5 or 6 scoobs through a set of traffic lights ! :)

Be careful of the speed cameras in the limehouse link tunnel, at the start , middle and end of the tunnel ! I got flashed at 36Mph !!!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaah :(


Rotherhithe tunnel is average speed cameras 20Mph !!

Blackwall tunnel said 30mph on the LED signs , but ppl were bombing past me at 50Mph ! and i saw NO Average , or Flash cameras about !!!!

I hope you all enjoy the night :-D

Not long now :doubleup:

For anyone that has not been on one of these events its alot of fun,

Some times chaotic but fun it does give you a buzz especially in the Rotherhithe where it gets very noisy :nod:

If you have a sat nav that will also come in very useful :lol:

I have managed to triple book myself Saturday night, so can't make it now :(

Hope it stops raining for tonight?

Some off us in Surrey are meeting at Clackets at 7pm first.

Broke my tunnel run cherry on this event, was a good night :D
