Revolve Brighton to London now mapped on Google

Brighton to London Eco-Rally Route on 05/06/07
Eco Rally Route 05/06/07

We've worked out the route and now you can follow it all the way from the coast to the capital. Be sure to use the satellite button (top-right corner of map) to find the perfect spot to view the cars on World Environment Day 05/06/07. Use the panel on the left to view key places along the way, including the longest High Street in Europe (or so they say), Nappy Valley and Westminster Bridge, where the drivers will catch a glimpse of the zero-shaped London-eye.

The route is a mixture of A roads, B roads and a stretch of motorway. The vehicles will travel along coastal roads, through town-centres, suburban avenues, and high streets; allowing maximum exposure to the general public. It is designed to simulate everyday driving conditions, emphasising the efforts made by the motoring industry to make green motoring practical and versatile.

Anyone who snaps the cars en route is encouraged to upload their photos to Flickr and ‘geotag’ the location on their world map. Any photo they upload should be tagged with ‘revolve050607’. After the event, anyone who visits Flickr’s world map and searches for all photos that match the keyword "revolve050607" will be able to see a collection of photos from various places along the route.

I'm intrigued to see the outcome of this. We're a florists with a strong ethical angle, in terms of our product and also our distribution and other areas.

We do same day delivery within the whole of London with our own drivers (using a courier for rest of uk). So it would make a lot of sense to have electric vehicles for central london, for both economic and environmental reasons. We've just done a trial with one electric van and are very interested to see the results of the two competing vans in this race! If anyone has any thoughts on which ones we should go for, do let us know by commenting on the post on our blog (www.arenaflowers.com/blog) about the newest member of the arena family!
