It worked really well,we managed to park and get photos in front of:

In the past weve at the small industrial estate just off the M25 on the A20.
A20 the road that goes to Brands Hatch from the M25 @ Jnc 3. ps. But could be completely wrong as this down to me.

link isn't working above, but i think Ian's thinking of somewhere off J3 of M25:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&so...4,0.01929&z=16 Makes sense to meet on the entrance to the B2173 (hopefully google maps will keep the location marker on the link above ) as we'll be heading towards Dartford from there |

Well done everyone.
yes also to Big E's meeting place,should suit everyone as its on the way for all i belive. I will post up the route,landmarks and aprox times. Please anyone that wants to see some other sights let me know,i know my way around very well,so can take in other sights if people wish. Just to make everyone aware this is a very early start. Also does everyone want to do the dartford tunnell first,its no problem, £1,50 each way unless we do it before 6am. |

Personally not bothered about the Dartford tunnel.
I my opinion previous years have been spot on, (but I would say that) If we do Dartford tunnel it will delay getting to Central London and the longer we leave it the busier London gets. Could we possibly do the underpass that goes under Hyde park corner?

Not to fussed about the tunnels (i'm all grown up now) lol, just going for the photo's

and we have our 14 names - if anyone else wants to come we'll start a reserve list in case of any drop-outs.
I vote we skip Dartford as well, maybe go down to Westferry circus and take some piccies around Canary Wharf instead? |

Shame the Ace Cafe is being rubbish, they were good a couple of years back when we only took 4 cars. Guess theres not a lot of room out the front for 14 of us! |

No room they have a norsk meet on the day and the md has said we wont be allowed to park in front of the cafe

why are you limiting to 14?
|
#28
|
||||
|
||||
Bit of a late response but nobody else has answered so i'll try!
Not sure why the number 14 was chosen (as opposed to 13 or 15 ) but Martyn picked it. As he's the one sorting the route and being our tour guide, i'm more than happy to go with that Too many people and it'll be a pain trying to keep the group together. Also moving this over to SES events as its now being organised as such |

Thanks Steve
Guys the only reason for limiting it is that it is very hard with any more to get the photos,which is really one of the main reasons for the run. Even at 07.00 in london the police are very quick to move you on from parking outside Buck palace,houses of parliament,the Mall etc To be honest 10 is really the max but having looked at the photos from last year i think we could do two lots of 7 at most stops. Now i am more than happy to do a comprehensive route description,post codes,maps etc if someone wants to lead a 2nd group,but trust mew there is no way that you will get any photos done with bigger numbers,Only because the police moving you on. Which i think you will agree is not surprising when you think of the places we are parking outside. So if someone with a sat nav fancies giving it a bash, i will of course help them. Fortunatley i can do it with my eyes shut,having driven around the poo hole for way too long ! |
