No, we leave lakeside (Costco) and make our way south of the river into Kent. The bridge will probably be closed so we have to go back a junction and turn around again to get back on the M25.

We then get onto the A2 and head into London.....

More or less.

We are starting from Costco's car park rather than thurrock services, apart from that exactly the same.

If the satnav itiniery works fine then we may venture back into the city again for Tunnel Run VI but we will see.

Half the services car park has now been taken over for lorry parking, so absolutely no chance of fitting everyone in.

• Through tolls (pay £1-00) and continue M25 to junction 2 (A2 Junction)

• After the tolls the road goes into 4 lanes – keep in the first two lanes, following the signs for A2 London / Canterbury, Junction 2

• Go thru the 2nd set of lights then into the left hand lane through the 3rd set of lights taking the exit A2 LONDON

• After 8.6miles of the journey, get into the outer 2 lanes

Speed Camera after 9.2miles

Another Speed Camera after 10.5miles

Speed Camera 13.2miles, just after the 2nd bridge

• Keep in right hand lane (The White Swan should be on your right hand side) – turn right onto Commercial Road and stay in the right hand lane after turning

• Keep in right hand lane as you go under the bridge

• At the lights take the right hand turn to go to the Rotherhithe Tunnel – keep in the right hand lane as it goes into a narrow width restriction road

20mph speed limit in the Rotherhithe Tunnel – speed camera as you exit the tunnel

• At the roundabout, go into the right hand lane, going all the way round the roundabout and back into the Rotherhithe tunnel – remember 20mph speed limit!
