[kangzy]

Right guy looking good so far.

now just want some feed back on the route

Now im pretty much set on the route to South London but not quite sure how were going to link all the tunnels. Once iv got all the tunnels ill plan a route. ive got 5 tunnels that i know of.. some longer than others:

2 on the M25

Blackwall tunnel

Rotherhithe tunnel

Limehouse tunnel

Have i missed any??

[farhanali89]

if we go further towards east london, on the a406 theres some wicked tunnels on long stretches down that way...might be worth looking into will speak to you later about it.

[LAA69]

Channel Tunnel ??? :P

[Ckman85]

Im rubbish with locations, Dartford tunnel is a bit too far from our location, ummm sorry guys im no help lol

[kangzy]

Dartford tunnel aint that far uno Will.. depends how far u guys wana go?

are there any speed restrictions in the dartford tunnel?

[Ckman85]

No there isnt, NOT that where gna speed rite guys?

I guess we cud end at dartford tunnel? bcos its free after 10pm

[kangzy]

Yeah of course we wouldnt speed! lol

how much isit before 10pm?

[farhanali89]

dartford tunnel is tight me and a few friends went there a while back.....i think if you arenot a skilled drive stay out of there it is horribly tight and a death trap!

[kangzy]

"death trap" lol

aiight cool guess that one is a no then..

NEXT..

[LAA69]

Sorry chaps but your talking complete rubbish here, the Dartford Tunnel has far wider lanes than the Blackwall or Rotherhithe have.

Also all tunnels have speed restrictions .....

Dartford Tunnel is easier to drive through than Bl or Roth, Roth is worse of 3 & is 20mph limit ... even i avoid that one if possible ...

[Ckman85]

Dartford tunnel is really wide, blackwall tunnel from Greenwich heading to London central side is REALLY tight, thats a death trap lol

[kangzy]

oh ok never been through Dartford before... Rotherhithe is very tight i must admit.

so i guess dartford is back on the table! how much isit before 10pm?

[LAA69]

Rotherhithe tightest & slowest ...

Blackwall not that tight ....

Dartford widest ......

Trust me i live a few miles from each and have used all many times.

Dartford is now £1.50 per car... see here .... http://dartfordtunnel.toolazy.me.uk/

[farhanali89]

oh dammit i meant blackwall tunnel shaun the one i use to go grenwich all the time, theres another really tight one. Sorry about the dartford one my bad got confused when i wrote it, Blackwall tunnel is tight, theres another single one which is hell tight but you wont get no side by side shots. You probably wont on blackwall tunnel as well as the cars wil be to close to take shots of. Will be a nice blast tho! DAMMIT MY MOTHER NEEDED TO MOVE MY CAR TODAY SHE HIT THE BACK BUMPER ITS NOT BAD BUT IL HAVE TO GET THE B_STARD RESPRAYED OR BRING ON TTE REAR LIP NOW!

[kangzy]

LAA69: if u live so close why not come along and show us the way?
