many thanks :Thumbs-up
any one ???????????????
I dont remember the MRC doing one it depends when it was and who organised it?
well does any londoner have any local info on where the tunnels are so i can plan my own route then ?
ok, here we go...
Dartfort tunnel - on the M25, far east.
Blackwall tunnel - A12 southernmost end, again on the east side near Bow.
Rotherhithe Tunnel - nice small twisty tunnel, 20mph though, links Deptford and
Limehouse.
Westferry - this is an underground roundabout, near canary wharf.
Limehouse Link - speed camera\'d tunnel underneath westferry and links the A101 highway to the main A13 link road.
Tooley Street Tunnels - tricky to get to and find, but SO worth it, find them just west of tower bridge southern approach.
Kingsway Tunnel - very nice high 2nd/3rd gear tunnel in the heart of london, very technical and fun for such a short one. just south of Holborn.
now these are just a few, there are some more on the A406 that make a nice note at full chat but they are too short to be worth it.
hope this helps, Have fun!!!
Can we organise an MRC tunnel run? :D

You have just started to :cool
Seriously MRC has never organised a tunnel run so as with any thing else you want to do, if enough want this we will do it.
How about an evening between Christmas and New Year when a lot of people might be off work ??
well the one im doing, arranging for people is sat the 19th meeting in swindon at 730pm then gathering a few more on the way down m4 . then to ace cafe for some thing to eat about 830pm chat drink then tunnels around 11 -12 pm all welcome.
