Shenley Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Have been through the Duplex in Paris a few times now, alas only once in our Zed. ..... 10km long. NO bikes, and a 2m height restriction! It was interesting in our Navara! Quote

I love it, you don't get the normal tunnel feeling, you don't feel compressed at all. no.. you have the architects to thank for that. i am structural so do the drawings for what actually makes it stand up and work rather than make it look pretty.. lol Quote
peteman35 Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Go through Hindhead a lot it's only 15 mins from me Go there around 12 at night. Slow down to around 30. Pop it in 2nd. Then head to the service station to change your pants Quote

Blackwall Tunnel is another of my favorites but you get a fair bit of traffic in the Blackwall at times. Quote
