You'll get used to it. At least your filtering is improving ;)

I came back through blackwall tunnel. 35 mins door to door compared to the usual 45 mins. Result!

Moan, moan....

I changed the title, since it's general moaning now 8-) :?
Nice result Halfa: Camberwell is bad, because you can't ride in the bus lanes...

Of course it's my fault: I chose to ride a dangerous anti social scooter :roll:

I didnt watch every second, but interesting seeing where you'd filter/overtake that i wouldnt, or i would and you dont - obviously the video dosent show what you can see looking about, but interesting.
Depending on what time you get to Old Kent Road, ill have to keep an eye out, i typically join by the BP at the south and go off at Great Dover Street at the north end 8-)
