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.
