Nice one Paul, need more, I can never tire of seeing London. Glad to see the traffic was as I had predicted (and planned) well done.

Re: Thames Bridges and Tunnels
I know how you feel Adrian when it's all over and went well. We just ran our local event which involved some enertaining single track roads including a hollow lane and among the entries was a WA.
I was very pleased to see it had arrived at the final destination, without sustaining any ill effects.
During route proving we had checked that the lane was hardly used at all and in fact there was only one property that would use it. However it's still a relief when that one resident doesnt come the other way in a massive 4x4 on the day. We did arrange that the MGs were going downhill . Deservedly the WA got "Car of the Run".
The potential for disaster with nearly 90 cars in the centre of London makes our job look easy.

Yes, Ruth, as usual.
With some of the landmarks n/s and others o/s, we played sort of camera-tennis in the back of the V8

...or 'pass the grenade' as we used to call it at children's parties.
Oh no - wait a minute - that was 'pass the parcel' .

Re: Thames Bridges and Tunnels
Hi,
Does any one still have a route map for this run that I could have or borrow, as I am interested to see where they went on the day.

Re: Thames Bridges and Tunnels
The Anglia Centre will be repeating the event next year, slightly different route as, hopefully, all roads will be available this time.

Hi Adrian,

When you are thinking you can tell the Date of Thames Bridges and Tunnels 2013.

Re: Thames Bridges and Tunnels
Klaus, it will run twice if all goes to plan. The Anglia Centre event will be open to all MGCC members but the April event will be personal to mgf.be and the Tour de Lux regulars.
