Default Tunnel Location

Just been looking on Type R forum and they show pictures of a place called Samphire Hoe in Kent / Essex area.

How good does this road and tunnel look.



See here for details of location

Thats not that close though is it
I mean kents not local, although parents live close by, but Norway is a fair trek to make a bit of noise.

That's about as long a one of the two Manchester tunnels we use and they've got a roundabout at the end, that's 4 tunnels that length in a few minutes

Which reminds me we are about due a de cat tunnels meet!

Simon,

That Spoon sounded amazing!

Wouldn't like to have a pile up in that tunnel though!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Queensway Tunnel that runs thru the centre of B'ham... unless they have and i missed it.

Nice, long tunnel, bit of a twisty towards one end and exits to roundabouts at each end so you can slam it back round and do it all again.

Anyone know the one i mean... i think it's actually part of the A38 fromt the Aston Expressway thru to Bristol Road.

I know it. It is good but a bit too high profile through the middle of Brum
