Yeah, about half a mile behind you!

Our group had become split, and the car that I caught up was doing 20mph.

after carefull examination of video evidence, ive found the supposed section of the underpass that might have had a speed camera. theres a definite flash that can be seen on the footage the convoy entered the it.

also video footage shows Apple narrowly missing a squirel that runs across her path!

theres definitely a camera, probably a traffic camera not detecting speed tho. it can be seen mounted on the right hand side, it might also be a mirror thats attached to the unit to allow it to flip 180 degrees..

i will put up the screen grabs this evening.

Like Minnie said, "Great video". It brought back some good memories.

Had to download QuickTime to see it though - thank goodness for broadband!

Apologies for the delay in writing.

Had a great time on Boxing Day, and as result I think the wife will be up for some more runs during the year.

Thanks to DK and Max for their hard work in putting together the route.

The good news is I too have not had a nasty envelope through the door, and do not believe their is a speed camera in the tunnel. I have been through the tunnel many times at some pretty stupid speed in numerous motors including a 7.5 ton scaffold wagon and not had a problem.

I will be downloading the Video at work on the broad band connection as I can't bear waiting the hour and 10 minutes it takes on dial up. Really looking forward to seeing the finished article.

Glad you enjoyed yourselves

It is likely that I shall organise another run this Boxing Day, so keep an eye on the forum nearer the time, possibly a wee bit too early to start the thread yet
