Title: M25 on a Friday night Post by: oxford_fan on Thursday, June 9, 2011, 17:34:50 Nothing to do with dogging, I just need some advice from commuters.
I'm planning leave Oxford at about 4pm to go to Canterbury on Friday, clockwise (I'm picking someone up at Cockfosters tube) round the M25. Will I get raped by the traffic?

Title: Re: M25 on a Friday night Post by: oxford_fan on Thursday, June 9, 2011, 17:51:03 If I could leave at 3.45pm it'd make a world of difference and I'd be there in the expected 3hrs, right?
Title: Re: M25 on a Friday night Post by: suttonred on Thursday, June 9, 2011, 17:54:26 It's normally bad from 2pm, but 3 hours should give you breathing space.

Clockwise you will have the Dartford Bridge / Lakeside and all the Northeners going home to their Northern slums!

Title: Re: M25 on a Friday night Post by: Gazza's Fat Mate on Thursday, June 9, 2011, 20:08:20 That tunnel is a nightmare to get stuck in. Got stuck behind some dirty van nearly passed out due to lack of clean air!

Title: Re: M25 on a Friday night Post by: oxford_fan on Sunday, June 12, 2011, 17:10:55 Fine! Didn't leave Oxford until 7.50pm which I think helped, but there wasn't too much traffic about. Coming back today was easy too.
