I have a Valentine 1 radar detector installed with the very latest software in my car, it will not pick up digital only gatso's but at least it works in the tunnels!

Having been on one before - this was virtually impossible with the amount of traffic lights/traffic/fact that London is not full of long straight roads



Sorry I can't do this now - sounds like it's going to be fun

Limehouse cameras - don't I know about them too - got a nice picture of me and kit kat at 37mph on the last run we did.

Might be able to make it along to this, if so I'll follow kit kat up to the start pt.

Are the ones in the Tunnel Gatso's, where exactly are they, inside or outside the tunnel?

The last thing we all want is a ticket for the pleasure of going through all these tunnels

All of the cameras that I saw last Friday night in the tunnels were normal gatso's. Some are the traditional ones, but most are the smaller digital ones the authorises seem very fond of nowadays...



I don't believe there are any average speed cameras in any of the tunnels, but there are some down embankment so watch out.

Just another update - The Google Earth and TomTom files I mentioned in my PM are now available to download in zip format.

m1bjr - If I hear of anyone travelling down from your neck of the woods I'll point them in your direction.
