Drivers tunnels ?

[V9GRT]

Is anybody aware of any reasonable length tunnels near Evesham Worcestershire?

The responses ideally within a 30 mile radius for good ones!

Need to hear the C63 in one! :-)


Any other 'great' tunnels and drives within the UK would be worth mentioning :-)

Cheers Gav

If there are we haven't found them!. Few short tunnels in Birmingham but the Police keep an eye on them very closely.

OP....have you thought about a decent sized multi-storey car park or say a quiet time at a well-known large shopping centre car park at say Solihull or near Dudley? If the C63 is any good, it should set off a few car alarms as you drive through

Thanks :-)

Will pootle in the car park but probably looking for somewhere a bit safer to build the revs up :-)

Ref birmingham - Just be aware that the the West Midlands Police traffic division is situated within ear shot
I've done a few tunnel runs and the acoustics are excellent - but I'd go alone or in a small group.
The car park in Solihull is excellent, but there also a hidden gem just off the A435 at junction 3 of the M42.
Take the first left after the layby (200 yards from the motorway) towards Evesham. There is a tunnel that heads under the motorway - it's not long, but it's great for V8's

If my memory serves me correctly, there is a reasonable tunnel on the A40 at Monmouth if you fancy a trip south rather than north. There are also some reasonable driving roads in that area.

Yes there is a nice tunnel at Monmouth although it is open & airy rather than enclosed & noisy. Good thing about it is its enroute to some good driving roads around symonds yat & the why valley.

The A40 was the only road I've ever been 'SP30'd'!

Are there cameras in this tunnel or either side?

Thanks for the ideas gents :-)

I'm not too sure how up to date this is now, but it has been good in the past: http://goo.gl/maps/bged

[V9GRT]

Craikey, that is spot on, printed and I will do a plan to visit many :-)

Yep it's not the place for speed just noise.

Birmingham is your best bet but still not brilliant. London has some great ones if you are ever down there

As madmover says its good for fun but watch your speed!

Here is a video of Me and Tim in our Caterham R500 in the Queensway tunnels!

Indeed it is, it's about 2 minuites from my house so we often go that way on our trips out.

Here is a clip in my R500:-

Got all excited when I saw the three tunnels between Ashbourne and Belper....

It isn't my map, but as it's easy to accidentally move points when editing a map, I've corrected a few though.
