Bracknell Meet - Breakfast Tunnel Run - Sunday 7 July

[Planet Claire]

It is nearly two years since I ran the Tunnel Run drive and a few people have asked if I'd do it again, so here it is, Sunday 7th July.

We will meet at Ockham Common car park, just off the M25 J10 / A3 junction (closest postcode is KT11 1ND, actual car park is next to the A3) at 7am, aiming to depart at 7:30am.

The route will take us down the A3, through the Hindhead tunnel, a quick u-turn and back through the north-bound side. From there we'll take in a scenic route through the Surrey/Hampshire/Berkshire countryside before ending up at our breakfast stop, at approximately 9am.

The cafe does a small English breakfast for £3.95, a large one for £4.95, tea for £1 and coffee £1.35, plus lots of other options of meals and drinks.

Also, let me know if you have an ultra low car (bog standard lowering is ok) as the route off the A3 has speed humps. If there's lots of you then I will try to find an alternative route, if it's just one or two then it may be you have to detour and pick up the run at another point.

Names as soon as possible, please and whether you will be having breakfast.

Ok, we're coming off the A3 at Thursley and the road has a series of speed humps, in particular the first one. http://goo.gl/maps/sweRp Someone last time got stranded on it. You might be able to mount the kerb so that your undercarriage is over the gap rather than over the hump. If you think it's going to be a problem it may be better for you to detour up to Frensham and we'll pick you up there. We can discuss on Sunday.

Anymore takers for Sunday? I'm wanting to finalise numbers for breakfast.

[Planet Claire]

OK, final reminder for tomorrow.

Don't forget: Petrol, cash for breakfast and sunscreen!

Thanks to everyone who turned out today - a large turn out which, unfortunately, resulted in small convoys as we got split up. However, the sun was shining brilliantly and we all managed to turn up to the café, so it turned out ok in the end.

I had a brilliant time this morning!
Thank you all very much for allowing me to tag along, even if we did get a bit lost.

Wondered what happened to you all.I sat at the BP just before the Petworth Goodwood turn off until 07.45 Then headed to the Tunnel , parked up by the roundabout on the next exit and waited, seen 1 911', drove back through the tunnel, off home then up to the Heathrow car show.

A3 was shut so we had to make a scenic detour which delayed our arrival at the tunnel.
It was another great drive with superb weather. Thanks for organising and leading it Helen
Shame we got split up but it was inevitable with that many cars, especially with so many cyclists around.
