The 2012 Olympic Torch Route Revealed

http://news.sky.com/sky-news/content...1/16104985.jpg

The 8,000-mile route of the 2012 Olympic torch relay around the UK has been revealed.

The torch will be taken within an hour's journey of 95% of the population as it passes through 1,018 villages, towns and cities.

The London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Locog) has confirmed all the locations through which the Olympic flame will be carried by torchbearers.

On parts of the journey, torchbearers will carry the flame on horseback, by bicycle, tram and steam train.

The street-by-street detail of the route will be confirmed next year.

List of places along the route of the Olympic Torch relay: (WARNING it's a rather LARGE list!!)

Olympics 2012 - Torch Street Routes

Quote:

The street-by-street route the London 2012 Olympic torch relay will take around the UK has been set out.

These pdf files contain each day's route along which the Olympic Flame will be carried.

A total of 8,000 torchbearers will take the torch on its 70-day journey which begins in Land's End on 19 May.

The only details not yet issued by London 2012 organisers are the final two days in which the torch visits Westminster before travelling from Hampton Court to the Olympic Park to light the cauldron at the opening ceremony on 27 July.

I'm not sure about how I feel about the whole olympics, someone told me that a lot of the athletes take drugs in a way that can't be detected.

But I guess getting loads of people interested in sports is a great thing.
