Talking *** ESC Tunnel Run 27th Oct 2012 ***

Hi all

Just to let you guys on here know about the annual ESC Tunnel Run 2012

Main forum thread is here

http://bbs.scoobynet.com/essex-scoob...un-thread.html

Stickers will be available on the night for £5, all money raised will get going to charity ( Currently undecided at the mo )

Leaving M25 Thurrock services at 9pm

You know what to do

Get your names down

Or request here and i'll put your name down for you , But i'm guessing most ppl on here are registered on Scoobynet

If your are registered on any other scooby forums .... and you don't see a thread about the ESC Tunnel Run 2012

Could you please post one up

Facebook Event page ..... http://www.facebook.com/events/345630262194884/

Pls share with your friends

Thanks Ron

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

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

Not long now

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

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