I'm just wondering if theres going to be a Bristol tunnel run III coming up in the near future?

I came accross this tunnel the other day and it made me want more!



It's the tunnel on the way to the St Werburghs City Farm biggrin

Yup have already been plotting away in the background for another one. won't be for a little while yet as a few of the cars need to be woken from their winter sleep.

As for that tunnel, yes it is good fun, but the problem is on a weekend it is usually very busy round there with people visiting the farm which makes it difficult to get through. The is an amazing one slightly further on, but there is very very limited space to turn around on the other side as it's a no through road(you wouldn't get a TVR to turn around up there) and you have to drive through the local tree huggers community.

If you have any other suggestions by means shout and we'll try to fit them in

Ah yes, that tunnel, and the one further on right by the City Farm. We looked at both of these but there was no way we could get 20-30 cars up there and back without a huge faff.

Cheers - she normally prefers to use a drip though - doesn't like to take the risk of me waking up for too long and "causing trouble". sleep -> nuts -> sleep

Grover, have you actually been out on one of our runs yet? I know you've met us at the pub after, but think we've always managed to pick a dtae which clashes with something

I always call it the Galleries, everyone knows it as the Galleries, why for the last year or so have they renamed it 'The Mall', just causes confusion with 'The Mall Cribbs' confused

Still a good tunnel though smile

The one next to the cemetery is the best one, especially when you get to watch Chris struggle to turn the Ultima roundhehe
