Thats best for us, because Baz and myself will be coming from the M23/M25, so we reckon the best place to meet those coming from Kent/East Sussex will be at J3 (Swanley/Brands Hatch exit).

If we meet at J3 of the M25, how about the red dot on this map?? (check out my MSPaint skills )

The dot is just an industrial estate entrance, so we can all meet up and go from there into London. Is that ok with everyone else?

[DukeBoy]

How about meeting at Brands...it's only 5 mins out the way and a good chance for the first photo's outside the gates

[Steve_PPP]

could do, will we get a decent pic in the dark though - it'll be 6am at that point. Or is it heavily floodlit?

If your taking pics of cars with poeple that move about , you can take a pic in the dark ,with no flash and it 'll be cool . just take on a 10 min exposer

[Red Baron]

There's a race meeting at Brands this weekend so there could be people coming and going, even at that time of the day.

Yes my brakes need upgrading, sorry Steve for the heart attack mate and we have it on video, sort of ,

Crowman is an absolute london god, amazing to think we did 6 tunnels (some going through more than once), saw millenium dome, tower bridge, london eye, westminster bridge, big ben, the houses of parliament, buckingham palace, wembley stadium and then stopped for breakfast in ace cafe all in 3 ish hours, top that.

luckily the noise from a skidding car echoes quite nicely in the tooley street tunnels as well as just the exhausts - heard you coming and got out of the way. brown trouser moment?

simonairheadz
Good pics there,love the noodle shot

[BIG"E"]

Simon what happened to CJ ?

He is not in your pictures.

I hope you had as good a time as we did.

Were there any side ways moments from Brad?

I would like to say thanks for you guys and girls getting out of bed at such a bloomin silly time.
It was nice to meet a couple of new faces there.
As Keith says it would be good to do another some time,heck i might even get to take my car.
Took one or two little unplanned detours,but on the whole we did good.
Steve.. Great avaisive manouvers there mate,wondered what you were doing at first. Some good pics there from you and your good lady.
Baz, Time for 4 pots mate.

[DukeBoy]

Yes good pictures there guys....the Mrs done a good job Steve

Shame not many cars made it (maybe more next time), def think it should be made a regular run

To be honest I have done loads of tunnel runs, and it was better having fewer people.
Thanks to Growman, every thing went so smoothly, when there are lots of you you always get split up and you spend half the time waiting for other scoobs, that sometimes never show up again.

I therefore would like to put my name down for the next one.

Thanks once again Crowman.

ps I am so glad suggested it

She's a clever lass, and she keeps surprising me by coming along to scooby related meets and thoroughly enjoying them
